Exactly what I needed for a coconut rice recipe! If I didn't know I made it, I would not have known the difference! It works great on sweetened shredded coconut that is starting to dry out also! The strained coconut can then be used in other recipes such as coconut filled brownies. Yummy!

I used half a recipe in Asian Shrimp and Ginger Fritters with Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce. Very easy to do.

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.
