coconut milk/cream questions
I have a few recipes that call for canned coconut milk, but not the whole can. How long does it keep once opened? Can I freeze it for future use?
I also have a recipe that calls for a small amount of coconut cream. Any suggestions for how I can use up the rest of the can? TIA

You can freeze it.
You can use the rest instead of liquid or fat in baking- yum! Or make a smoothie or a coconut curry.

It only lasts in the fridge for a few days...maybe four...before it turns. I use it with chicken broth, herbs, and cornstarch to make something like a can of soup for casseroles and sauces.

Re: coconut milk/cream questions
You can also buy cans of just coconut cream - they're much smaller and great for recipes.

It freezes well. I freeze it in ice cube trays, and then pop them into a plastic bag for storage. But I basically do this with almost everything
