Ingredients
- To be sure we chose the best coconut milk substitutes, we spoke with Cindy Chou, RDN, a chef and dietitian with Cancer Nutrition in a Bowl and The Sound of Cooking. Her recommendations contain a coconut ingredient to help preserve the flavor important to some recipes. However, we’ve also included some coconut-free alternatives just in case you’re allergic, dislike the taste, or don’t have any on hand.
- Shredded coconut (and a blender)
- “You can make your coconut milk in 10 minutes or less if you have shredded coconut in your pantry,” explains Chou. All you’ll need is 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut, 2 cups warm water, and a blender.
- “Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and cheesecloth after blending,” she says.
- This recipe yields about 2 cups of coconut milk.
- subheading: Per 100 g, unsweetened shredded coconut provides:
- Calories: 650 kcal
- Fat: 65 g
- Carbs: 23 g
- But don’t worry - your homemade coconut milk won’t have almost 700 calories. It will be closer to one of the coconut milk detailed above since you’ll be straining out a lot of the pulp.
- Coconut cream
- “The next best substitute,” says Chou, “might be coconut cream.” But, she cautions: make sure you have coconut cream, which is unsweetened, instead of cream of coconut - which is heavily sweetened (and may make your dish taste like a piña colada).
