So Delicious Coconut Creamer

Hi, question(s) for everyone here

It doesn't taste sweet to me at all, but that might be in comparison to the soy milk I drink.

I put sweet stuff on pasta anyway, it's no different than bread.

I like to do a simple sauce with Thai chili sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, and then doctor it with garlic or anything else. I could see adding this and making it creamy. But I'm out of chili sauce. I was hoping to make a mac and cheez type thing with this. I'll have to taste it on its own to see if it is just too far in one direction to counterbalance.

I don't like it in my coffee either. It doesn't taste that sweet to me on it's own either but then again, I guess I don't really taste it on it's own that much. On a side note, have you tried Mimicreme coffee creamer? It's the best I have found for my palate.

[deftonedpiano]

No, I haven't heard of that one. I think I'll stick to soy since it's an easy, cheap one for me to find.

I freeze pretty much anything i can't use in time, milks included. i think it'll be fine.

Good to hear - I always worry about things separating when they thaw.

[littlesoybean]

if it does, i don't see why you can't mix it up again when it's fully thawed.

when i freeze canned coconut milk, the ice thaws first. i just wait til the whole thing thaws completely before mixing it up and using it. a lot of asian markets sell frozen coconut milk, so i don't worry about it too much.

I try to use up my milks sometimes by putting them with Kahlua over ice. Nom nom :)

[deftonedpiano]

That sounds good -- maybe I'll make a trip to the liquor store :D

Actually, the coconut creamer is AMAZING with Kahlua.

[deftonedpiano]

I may have to try this, though I'm so busy planning for my trip I don't want to bring alcohol into the mix lol. I'll keep it in mind for if I ever see it cheap cheap again.

I've used the coconut beverage in thai-style food when out of real coconut milk. It won't have all of the added flavor and fats, but you could use it in a dish like that.

(I'm aware the coconut beverage and creamer are different, just saying it will likely work as well due to the spice and sweetness in Thai cooking anyway.)
