User post: Cuckoo for Coconut? Make light coconut milk your new best friend in the kitchen

user

Crack open a can of coconut milk and you’re halfway around the world … and half an hour away from some exotic dinner options. Whether stirred into an Indian potato stew or recruited to replace dairy in a rich chocolate pudding (to name just two uses featured here), coconut milk transforms simple foods into sensational dishes. The light version has about half the fat and calories of traditional canned coconut milk, with just as much flavor and only a little loss in creaminess. Nowadays, most major supermarkets stock coconut milk in their aisles, so getting global flavors into everyday dinners is as easy as keeping a can on hand in the pantry.
