4 Ways To Make Coconut Milk

coconut butter

water

vanilla

Place coconut, water, and salt into blender or food processor. Blend for 45-60 seconds.

Store in a sealed container in the fridge &amp; enjoy as needed!

Used this recipe 2 times. Made the coconut cream version and the coconut butter version. I like how easy the coconut butter one is but my coconut butter is always hard.

I have always used shredded coconut- I didn't know coconut butter or cream would work but I had some coconut cream in my pantry so I tried it and it tastes perfect! I always add some vanilla extract and a pinch of sugar to my coconut milk.

Used shredded coconut to make this as I'm not grocery shopping much right now with all the covid happenings- it worked GREAT!

This is SO useful! I didn't have shredded coconut on hand and I was browsing different ways to make coconut milk. I did have coconut manna and used it to make coconut milk after finding this recipe. THANK YOU! Most stores are pretty sold out where I live so now I know I can look for other ways to make coconut milk instead of buying the cans. I didnt strain through a nut milk bag like you suggested so there was a little tiny bit of fiber but this is super fast and super easy. I'm looking at my jar of coconut manna thinking there's a gallon of coconut milk sitting there! Woohoo. Thanks again!!!!
Is coconut manna the same as coconut butter? Or should i look for actual coconut butter?

I used this to try a couple different ways to make coconut milk. Question for you. If you use canned coconut cream does the milk it makes have a greyish color to it? Is that normal or just me?

WONDERFUL, thank you! Especially now with all this going on!

I was very surprised how creamy this coconut milk was. Previously I have tried to make my own and always felt the canned stuff was superior. I tried both the shredded coconut version and the canned coconut cream one. I preferred 1 can of the cream to 1.5 cups water instead of 2 and I LOVE that you don't have to strain it. 

I used the fresh coconut method...the best coconut milk I ever had. Thank you!

Yum this tastes so great, I did the shredded coconut recipe. Can you do anything with the pulp in the nut bag?

Wow! The texture changed so much by just adding back in the additional water and blending again. Thanks so much for your help.

 My husband was sooo happy to have his first iced matcha latte since March! We were ordering in the Thai Kitchen 2 ingredient coconut milk in the cartons which was phenomenal and they have not been shipping it since then sadly.

Thanks for sharing this info. Just made my first coco milk from a fresh coconut. I must say it's absolutely delish!

What can I do with the remained shredded coconut?

This was such a great find. It came out so good. Thank you for this recipe
