| You can definitely make a custard with coconut cream in place of the milk. I do not add cornstarch, but I usually do add a bit of unflavored gelatin. I have found that even when I use intense coconut, I still like a little bit of vanilla in the custard. You can omit the gelatin and cornstarch and freeze it into ice cream, which is what I did last month. I forgot to add the vanilla, however, and it did need it. You can also use it in making macaroons, but you still need the flaked coconut. Lars |

| I like to simmer carrots in cream of coconut. They come out delicious! I served these for Easter Dinner. :-) Now I have a question! I picked up a jar of Coconut Oil from Trader Joe's. Can I turn this into Cream of Coconut??? |

| Lars....I need the recipe for macaroons. |

| Here's the macaroon recipe I started with: Triple-Cocount Macaroons Ingredients: 1) Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle and preheat oven to 375 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment and lightly grease. 2) Whisk together cream of coconut, corn syrup, egg whites, vanilla, and salt in a small bowl; set aside. Combine the unsweetened and sweetened coconut in small bowl; toss together, breaking up clumps. Pour liquid into coconut and mix with a rubber spatula until coated. Chill for 15 minutes. 3) Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto parchment (or shape them into pyramids with your fingers). Bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes, rotating racks. 4) Cool cookies until slightly set, remove to wire rack. 5) Dip bottoms in chocolate; refrigerate until set. --------------------- I revised that recipe to this: Macaroons 1 can coconut milk + 1/3 c. sugar OR 1 can cream of coconut Mix all ingredients, drop by teaspoonful onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, bake at 325F until lightly browned and let cool before disturbing.

| My best coconut cake ever was a recipe from the Cooks Illustrated site that used cream of coconut instead of coconut milk. |
|
