Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk:
Are They The Same?

Coco cream contains about 21 to 25 percent fat, while coconut milk around 17 percent. To illustrate how similar or different they are from each other, let's talk a little about the production process.

Coconut milk is achieved by extracting the juice out of the white meat. It has a thick creamy texture and looks very much like cow's milk.

If you let the milk sit for a while, it will separate with a creamy layer on top. The layer on top is the one and only coconut or coco cream. Tada!

The bottom portion of the milk is skim milk. Its fat content is lower and has a very mild taste.
