Fat Free Coconut Milk (For Recipes)
By: Chef PotPie
Sep 22, 2006
I devised this little concoction several years ago because we love curries and things with coconut milk in them, but OH, the sat-fat in that lovely canned stuff. A no-no for us unless it's a very special occasion. It's worked for me in a lot of curries and even rice dishes, and we can enjoy these foods without the worry. This recipe is a starting point as a substitute for 1 cup canned coconut milk for adding to recipes. (1- 13.5 oz can is just shy of 2 cups, I make the difference up with fat free half&half.) You can adjust the cornstarch and sugar to your taste for thickness and sweetness. Double or change for however much liquid you need in your recipe.
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup fat-free half-and-half
- 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Directions
1
Combine all ingredients with a whisk.2
Whisk once again before adding to your recipe to ensure all the cornstarch is incorporated from the bottom of the bowl.

Thank you Chef Pot Pie! I didn't have quite enough coconut milk leftover for a ZWT recipe, so I mixed up some of this. I thought it was a good likeness and it worked just fine in the recipe. Made for ZWT, please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most.

You have a winner! I made this last night in order to make Curry Peanut Noodles and it worked liked a charm. Something I will most certainly use in the future. Thanks for posting Diva PotPie.

What a great concept. I have totally avoided coconut for years because of the bad fat content. Now I have this. In a moment of discovery when finding this recipe I started testing it by just mixing it with some milk, then a few other things went into the glass and wow! I used Splenda for the sugar but aside from that made it just as ask for.

What a great idea, now I can have those creamy coconut sauces without having to worry about the fat & calorie content, thanks.
