Chef's perfect product for Coconut Milk, Coconut Cream and Coconut Flour!
I NEVER write reviews, but I love this stuff so much, and I thought I could help others out by describing how I use it. This is so much better than canned coconut milk and definitely better than the boxed coconut milk by So Delicious. One 7 oz package makes 1 quart of coconut milk or 1 pint of coconut cream, plus about 1/4 cup of coconut flour.
I add the package to my blender along with a quart (or pint for cream) of boiling water and blend away. Then I strain it through a chinois (cheesecloth will also work) while it is still hot to remove the coconut flour. Sometimes I will add an extra tablespoon or two of coconut oil before blending to make it extra creamy.
I hate wasting anything, so I use the solids strained out of the coconut milk for coconut flour. I just spread the coconut solids out on a baking sheet and dehydrate at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 hours. Voila! Coconut flour! Use 1/3 c coconut flour plus 1 egg to substitute 1 cup of all purpose flour in baking recipes.

Still love this stuff and have found even more uses! The cream makes great coffee creamer, and I've even made coconut yogurt with it by adding milk kefir grains overnight once cooled. Probiotic, creamy coconut deliciousness!
