Recipes using coconut milk other than curry

[OMGitsnotgood]

A cupboard clear out has turned up a couple of tins of coconut milk. I have a variety of curry recipes using it for but I’m always looking for new ideas so am wondering what other people use it for. I know I can Google but am particularly interested in tried and tested that people have really enjoyed.

I can recommend using it instead of milk to make a baked rice pudding. Optionally sprinkle with Demerara sugar once cooked and grill to brûlée . Lovely served with a baked fruit compote.

Thai inspired noodle soup!

Daal made with coconut milk is gorgeous

My default would be curries, but you could also make smoothies with it, or I've made vegan chocolate mousse before which is basically coconut cream/very ripe mashed avocado/cocoa + some kind of sweetener depending how sweet you want it. I'm not vegan but have made it for friends who are, and I have had it a few times during my current pregnancy as I have GD and it's low carb so doesn't spike my blood sugars :)

You could also freeze the smoothie in ice cream moulds to enjoy when we get another warm day!

Thank you for all the fabulous suggestions, will work my way through them.

Am intrigued as to why a message got deleted on such a wholesome thread!!!

It was probably advertising something.

I have a vegan recipe that is - cauliflower, aubergine and potato chopped into chunks and roasted in oven. Add 1/2 tsp each of cumin, all spice, cinnamon and chilli. Mix. Pour over coconut milk and return to oven for 5 mins. Sprinkle with cashews and return for 5 more minutes.

Dd made mango sticky rice today. It was quite nice! Going to try some of the dishes above myself.

this is one I make often

Ooh that looks like exactly what I want for dinner. I have chicken that needs eating (breast not thigh but it will do) and most of the other ingredients. Thank you!

Hope you enjoyed!

We did, used a bit too much red curry paste so it was a bit strong! Tried frying some noodles but they just burnt so left them off. But it was generally nice!

I often use coconut milk to make scones.... I add some dedicated coconut and cherries (or another dried fruit).....

I use it to make korma curries - Jamie Oliver curry paste recipe good and fry an onion then add paste (or use shop bought) then coconut milk - lovely

Makes a nice creamy tomato soup. Roast the tomatoes and onions and maybe some chilli first then blitz up with coconut milk.

Sorry! Ignore - just didn’t read your question properly 🙈
