Coconut Cream Powder
Coconut milk in powder form: shelf-stable, scoop-as-you-go, and ready to dissolve into anything that calls for creaminess without opening a can.
What It Is
Coconut cream powder is simply coconut milk spray-dried with a little tapioca starch to help it flow and dissolve. The result is a fine, ivory powder that keeps in your pantry for months and reconstitutes quickly in warm liquid.
It tastes like full-fat coconut milk, not the watered-down kind. That means real richness, a faint natural sweetness, and no refrigerator real estate required until you've mixed it up.
What To Do
To use it as coconut milk, stir about 3 to 4 tablespoons into one cup of warm water and let it dissolve before adding it to your dish. Start there and adjust to taste: more powder for a richer result, less for something lighter. It works in curries, soups, smoothies, oatmeal, and baked goods.
You can also whisk it straight into dry baking mixes for coconut flavor without adding liquid. Store it sealed, away from moisture and heat. Once reconstituted, treat it like any opened can of coconut milk and use it within a few days.
