Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between coconut cream and coconut milk? A: Coconut cream has a much higher fat content than coconut milk, making it significantly thicker and richer. Coconut milk is more liquid and lighter in flavour. Use coconut cream when you want a rich, indulgent result, and coconut milk for lighter dishes or when you need more volume.
Q: Is Chaokoh Coconut Cream dairy-free? A: Yes — coconut cream is completely dairy-free and vegan. It's an excellent substitute for heavy cream in both savoury dishes and desserts.
Q: Can I use coconut cream instead of coconut milk? A: Yes, but coconut cream is thicker and richer, so you may want to dilute it with a little water to achieve a consistency closer to coconut milk. For richer dishes, using coconut cream undiluted gives a more indulgent result.
Q: Can coconut cream be whipped? A: Yes — refrigerate the can overnight, then scoop the solidified cream from the top and whip it just like dairy cream. It makes a delicious vegan whipped cream for desserts and drinks.
