These 5 Types of Ingredients Can Replace Coconut Milk in Daily Cooking

Everybody knows coconut milk is white milk extracted from ripe coconut filling. It can benefit health in a number of ways, such as stimulating weight loss and lowering cholesterol levels.

In addition, coconut milk has been used for many years as a dessert, meal, sauce, and many more. It is a popular ingredient in India, Thailand, Hawaii, and South American cuisine.

The process of coconut milk extraction involves the process of grating the fruit part and soaking it in hot water. Not just that, coconut milk is one of the main cooking ingredients for Malaysians.

Various traditional dishes mostly use coconut milk as the main ingredient. Starting from the preparation of cakes to the side dishes.

According to Detik Food, there are five types of ingredients that can replace coconut milk, and below are the list:

1. Creamer

You can replace coconut milk with creamer powder by mixing 5 tablespoons of creamer with 1 cup of water. Modify the concentration depending on your cuisine. It is easy and delicious. Suitable for use in curry, kurma sauce, and rendang dishes.

2. Mix Low Fat And Milk Cream

You can also use milk cream and low-fat by measuring 1 cup coconut milk, replace it with 1/2 cup low fat cream and 1/2 cup milk. Stir well and grind for a while until well blended. This mixture of cream and milk only gives a creamy taste and is suitable for making sweets.

3.Whipping and Cooking Cream

You can also use whipped cream or cooking cream in coconut milk dishes. Usually, these ingredients are used to make western dishes like pasta. These ingredients can also be used as a substitute for milk for Malay cuisine. It still tastes good and is very easy to use.

4. Almond Milk


Soak 1 cup of almonds overnight. Then grind with warm water or milk. If you want a thick milk texture, increase the number of almonds. Filter it before use in cooking. This almond milk is suitable for use in cooking curry and goulash.

5.Yogurt


To produce delicious coconut milk-like dishes, you can also use flavored yogurt. In addition to flavoring, the dishes produced are also healthier and low in calories.

Put the yogurt in a blender and add a little cooking gravy. Grind for a while and then pour into the dish.

So after this, you do not have to worry if the coconut milk runs out at home or at the store. Use the above ingredients instead of coconut milk!
