I devised this little concoction several years ago because we love curries and things with coconut milk in them, but OH, the sat-fat in that lovely canned stuff. A no-no for us unless it's a very special occasion. It's worked for me in a lot of curries and even rice dishes, and we can enjoy these foods without the worry. This recipe is a starting point as a substitute for 1 cup canned coconut milk for adding to recipes. (1- 13.5 oz can is just shy of 2 cups, I make the difference up with fat free half&half.) You can adjust the cornstarch and sugar to your taste for thickness and sweetness. Double or change for however much liquid you need in your recipe. Ingredients:
1 cup fat-free half-and-half |
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract |
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 teaspoon sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients with a whisk. 2. Whisk once again before adding to your recipe to ensure all the cornstarch is incorporated from the bottom of the bowl. |
