Woolworths Essentials Coconut Cream 400mL. Coconut cream is richer and thicker than coconut milk — it’s commonly used in cooking to add creaminess and a coconut flavour, especially in curries, soups, desserts, and various Southeast Asian dishes.
Because of its rich fat content and creamy texture, this coconut cream is excellent for curries, soups, stews, and desserts (e.g. coconut-based puddings, custards, or cakes).
It’s also popular in vegan or dairy-free cooking, as a plant-based substitute for dairy cream.
The coconut extract gives it a distinct coconut flavour and aroma, making it useful when you want a tropical or Southeast-Asian taste profile.
It’s relatively high in saturated fat and calories, so if you’re watching intake of fat/calories, it should be used in moderation.
As with many canned coconut creams/milks: shake well before use, because the cream may separate. (This is a general guideline for canned coconut-based products.)
