This made a very light slightly creamy coconut milk with desiccated unsweetened coconut. I think some people reviewing this recipe dont understand this is meant to be made with a fresh shredded coconut~thats how it would be creamy Im assuming. However without the fresh coconut this worked perfectly fine in Coconut Rice. I will defiantly use this recipe again if needed and would like to try it with freshly grated coconut also.

We absolutely loved the results and plan on using it instead of rice milk. I removed one star since it wasn't "creamy" to me.

Surprizingly this turned out quite well and made an excelent coconut milk for the Tongian Coconut Rolls also on the Zaar. I put it in the fridge and found that the solids began forming at the top. I was also bothered by the fact that so much coconut was strained off and wasted after making (I doubled the recipe and used the same batch to make a second batch of the milk). I wish I had had a back up plan for the left over coconut, or knew if it was still fine to use it, as it was very light and fluffy from the moisture and the pureeing in the blender. Was much of the fat taken out? Likely. Anyways, I dont think this is a PERFECT replacement for the coconut milk in a can, but if you, like me, had run out of coconut milk and needed it to make a yummy new Zaar dish, it works just fine! Just a little less fatty than regular coconut milk. A bit too watery. But just a bit. Not enough to have to make any alterations in a recipe.
