Is there a substitute for coconut milk?
Comments (4)I also do not like coconut milk in curry dishes and always ask at Thai restaurants if any of the dishes contain it. I don't like the sweetness. I've made Thai curry dishes that call for coconut milk, and I simply leave it out. If it needs the liquid, I add a bit of water. A better solution is to find recipes that do not use coconut milk. I've found plenty of Thai curry recipes that do not have it. I improvise lot in curry recipes, and I used to make my own curry paste (when I had lemongrass in the yard), and I would always omit cinnamon in the curry paste, as I do not like it in curry. The result is a dish that I love instead of something that I can only just barely tolerate. Don't feel like you have to be a purist or follow recipes slavishly. Use ingredients that you and your husband like and leave out the ones you don't. Often, you don't need to replace what you omit. IMO, a lot of recipes have too many ingredients and are improved when some of them are left out. Lars...See MoreCan I substitute coconut milk for sweetened condensed milk?
Comments (8)If you have sweetened coconut milk, it can be an acceptable substitute. If the coconut milk is not thick enough, you might have to reduce it down a bit or perhaps add a bit of tapioca or cornstarch to it. Adding coconut flakes would also help it to stay together. I've substituted coconut milk for SCM in macaroons, and I like them better. If you 12 oz can of coconut milk is not sweetened, you can add 1/3 cup sugar to it - that's what I do in my macaroon recipe.

Comments (4)I use coconut milk in rice pudding and have used it in the past in a Thai soup (which I didn't care for, so I won't bother to post the recipe). WE have fiddleheads but we mostly just saute them. Grandma used to use bacon grease and then crumble the bacon over top the fiddleheads when serving. I used olive oil instead but they weren't the same, so I reverted to bacon. Another local delicacy is just starting to pop up, morel mushrooms. I don't care much for them but I love to hunt them.

Comments (4)That's a good idea! These are for a bake sale fund raiser; hopefully they turn out tasty. I couldn't find unsweetened coconut at the grocery store, so I'll use what I have. Thanks!...See More
