American Fresh Coconut Milk: creamy Thai coconut milk for curries, soups and desserts. Single 400 ml can from Thailand.
American Fresh coconut milk from Thailand is pressed coconut in a 400 ml can, creamy and lightly sweet. It is the base of Thai green and red curries, tom kha soup, Malaysian laksa and Indian kormas, and it makes rice and lentils rich and fragrant. In desserts it goes into sticky rice with mango, panna cotta, puddings and smoothies. Shake the can well before opening, as the cream separates from the liquid. Simmer gently rather than boiling hard to prevent splitting. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container and use within a few days. Coconut milk is pressed from the grated flesh of mature coconuts; its richness comes from its high natural oil content. Unopened cans keep at room temperature, and if the cream has set solid in a cold room, warm the can in a bowl of hot water before shaking it.
