Creamy Coconut Milk

This is how I grew up making coconut milk. Use less water for a richer end result and more water for a less rich end result. We always use it to cook with or make coconut block (a frozen treat) Very delicious :).

Exactly what I needed for a coconut rice recipe! If I didn't know I made it, I would not have known the difference! It works great on sweetened shredded coconut that is starting to dry out also! The strained coconut can then be used in other recipes such as coconut filled brownies. Yummy!

I used half a recipe in Recipe #68656. Very easy to do.

This made a very light slightly creamy coconut milk with desiccated unsweetened coconut. I think some people reviewing this recipe dont understand this is meant to be made with a fresh shredded coconut~thats how it would be creamy Im assuming. However without the fresh coconut this worked perfectly fine in Recipe #336835. I will defiantly use this recipe again if needed and would like to try it with freshly grated coconut also.

We absolutely loved the results and plan on using it instead of rice milk. I removed one star since it wasn't "creamy" to me.
