About Coconut Milk
Stir the separated cream and liquid together before measuring. If the contents are too firm to mix, follow the product's handling directions; do not measure only the thick layer unless the recipe specifically asks for it.
Check the label for fat content and added sugar. A light coconut milk or a coconut beverage changes the richness of a batter, even if the weighed portion is the same.
Tips for measuring Coconut Milk
- Mix the whole can before taking a portion.
- Check whether the recipe needs milk or coconut cream.
Common mistakes
- Using the separated top layer as a cup of mixed coconut milk.
