If you think about it from a technical perspective, it makes sense that cream of coconut is dairy-free. Because the base ingredient is just coconut, no actual dairy “cream” is ever added.

In his small laboratory in Puerto Rico, he developed the original Coco Lopez by blending the delicious cream from the hearts of Caribbean coconuts with the exact proportion of natural cane sugar.Coconut milk, coconut cream, cream of coconut—the names of these three foods are confusingly similar, so let’s break down the three:

To make, combine the ingredients by simmering on low heat until the mixture reaches a syrup-y consistency. Serve and enjoy! You can keep this syrup in an airtight jar in the fridge for several weeks.

There might be some additional stabilizers there but for the most part, it is as simple as that.You can use Cream of coconut straight out of the bottle or can and it does not need to be cooked to be consumed. You can mix it into foods and drinks, or use it as an ingredient or sweetener. I like to use it in marinades and in curries.
