Napomena:

- Dobijena pavlaka je gusta, masna i pogodna za kuvanje i deserte.

🌴 Procenat masti i procenat kokosa 

17–24% masti se odnosi na ukupnu masnoću proizvoda

60–70% kokosa znači da je proizvod pravljen od više kokos mesa, pa se pri hlađenju izdvaja deblji, čvršći kremasti sloj

Proizvodi sa manjim procentom kokosa ili sa dodacima (E412, E415, emulgatori) često se ne odvajaju pravilno i nisu dobri za pavlaku i šlag

🍼 Kako da prepoznaš dobro kokosovo mleko

Na deklaraciji treba da piše otprilike: kokos (60–70%) + voda*

 bez stabilizatora, bez gume, bez emulgatora

Napomena:

60–70% je kokos (suva masa ili kokosov krem), 30–40% je voda.

Using coconut cream from coconut milk with 17-24% FAT:

If you use canned coconut milk, full-fat, without additives, with 60-70% coconut.

Percentage of fat and percentage of coconut

How to recognize good coconut milk

Using coconut cream from coconut milk with 60-70% coconut:

Is there a difference between using coconut cream from coconut milk with 17-24% FAT and coconut cream from coconut milk with 60-70% COCONUT?

Ingredients: 400 ml coconut milk (canned, full-fat, 17–24% fat).

If you want a thicker cream, use coconut milk with a higher coconut content (full-fat canned coconut milk, without additives, minimum 60–70% coconut).

Preparation:

1. Cool the coconut milk in the fridge for at least 8 hours (preferably 12 hours).

2. After cooling, open the can, do not stir the contents.

3. There will be a thick creamy layer on top (this is coconut cream).

4. Carefully separate that layer with a spoon into another container.

5. You can save the lower, watery part for frappes - smoothies, cooking or soup.

How do you get more coconut cream?

- use two cans of coconut milk

- buy coconut cream, which is even thicker than milk

Note:

This is real coconut cream, not a thickener, and has a pronounced coconut flavor.

🥥 Use of coconut cream from coconut milk with 17-24% FAT:

Salty dishes

1. Chowders and soups

A) It is added for a creamy texture in vegetable soups, lentil soups, chickpea soups, pumpkin soups, carrot soups and sweet potato soups.

- It is added near the end of cooking or cooked briefly at a moderate temperature.

B) Curries and stews

Basic ingredients of Indian curry dishes and Thai curry dishes. It balances the spiciness and spices and gives fullness to the dish.

- It is added after stewing spices and vegetables.

2. For sauces with pasta, rice, vegetables, mushrooms and tofu. It can replace sour cream for cooking in vegan dishes.

3. Rice and cereals

It is added to rice, couscous or millet for a richer taste and softer structure.

4. Roasted vegetables

It can be used in dressings for potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli or zucchini before baking.

Sweet dishes

1. Desserts and creams

- It is used as a base for puddings, creams, mousse and chocolate desserts.

2. Ice cream and sorbet.

It replaces the milk base in homemade ice cream and semifreddo.

3. Plain cakes and biscuits - sponge cakes 

It is added to the dough instead of milk for juicier cakes and a mild coconut taste.

4. Frappe - smoothies and drinks

It is used for creamy frappes - smoothies and fruit drinks.

🥛 If you use canned coconut milk, full fat, without additives, with 60-70% COCONUT

Preparation

1. Put the coconut milk in the fridge for at least 12 hours, ideally 24 hours, without shaking.

2. After cooling, open the can. A solid, thick layer will form on top - this is the coconut cream.

3. With a spoon, carefully separate only the solid part into a clean container.

4. Save the liquid part that remains at the bottom separately (it can be used for frappes - smoothies, soups or drinks).

Note:

- The resulting cream is thick, fatty and suitable for cooking and desserts.

- If the coconut milk had too much water or emulsifiers, the cream will not separate properly. In this case, the product is not suitable for this recipe

🌴 Percentage of fat and percentage of coconut

17–24% fat refers to the total fat content of the product

60-70% coconut means that the product is made from more coconut meat, so a thicker, firmer creamy layer separates when cooling.

Products with a lower percentage of coconut or with additives (E412, E415, emulsifiers) often do not separate properly and are not good for cream and whipped cream

🍼 How to recognize good coconut milk

The declaration should say approximately: 

- coconut (60-70%)  + water*

without stabilizers, without rubber, without emulsifiers

Note:

60–70% is coconut (dry mass or coconut cream), 30–40% is water.

🇨🇨 Use of coconut cream from coconut milk with 60-70% COCONUT:

Coconut cream obtained from full-fat coconut milk with a high proportion of coconut is thick, creamy and stable, with a pronounced coconut taste. Use when you want fullness, structure and richness without additional thickeners.

1. Salty dishes

A) Curries and stews

The base for Indian and Thai curries. It gives a full body to the dish, binds the spices and rounds off the spiciness.

- It can be added during cooking without separating.

B) Thick soups and stews

Ideal for pumpkin soup, sweet potato, cauliflower, lentil and mushroom soup.

- It is added towards the end or cooked for a short time for a full creamy texture.

2. Creamy sauces

For pasta, rice, vegetables, tofu and mushrooms. It tolerates heating well and gives a consistency without flour or starch.

3. Mashed potatoes and vegetable purees

It replaces cream and butter. It gives a rich texture and a slight sweetness.

4. Marinades and sauces

For roasted vegetables, tofu or tempeh. It carries strong spices such as ginger, garlic, lime and chili well.

Sweet dishes

1. Whipped cream and decorations

It can be whipped into stiff whipped cream that holds its shape. Suitable for cakes, cupcakes and decorations.

2. Creams and fillings

Base for chocolate creams, vanilla creams and fruit creams. Stable without additional thickeners.

3. Mousse and semifreddo

It gives structure and fullness without gelatin and dairy products.

4. Ice cream 

The ideal base for homemade vegan ice cream due to its high fat content.

5. Quick desserts

Like ready-made sour cream with fruit, honey, sugar or chocolate.

Special notes:

- Due to the intense coconut taste, it is used when coconut is part of the desired profile of the dish.

- Due to the high content of saturated fats, moderate use is recommended.

- Does not require additional stabilizers or thickeners.

🎅 Is there a difference between using coconut cream from coconut milk with 17-24% FAT and coconut cream from coconut milk with 60-70% COCONUT?

Yes, the use is different, but not because they are "different purposes", but because of the texture, stability and intensity of taste.

Briefly:

- coconut milk with 60-70% coconut gives real coconut cream

- coconut milk with 17–24% fat gives a lighter, thinner cream

Key differences

1. Texture

60–70% coconut

- Very thick, firm creamy layer

- It can be whipped into whipped cream

- Holds its shape in cakes and fillings

17–24% fat

- Softer, thinner cream

- It's harder to get whipped

- More suitable for cooking than for decoration

2. Heat stability

60–70% coconut

- Very stable

- It doesn't come apart easily

- Great for curry, thick soups and sauces

17–24% fat

- Stable, but rarer

- It can be diluted during longer cooking

- Better for lighter stews and soups

3. Taste

60–70% coconut

- Intense coconut taste

- It dominates the meal

17–24% fats

- Milder coconut taste

- It blends more easily with other ingredients

Difference in use:

1. Use 60-70% coconut when making:

- whipped cream and creams

- cakes and cookies

- thick curries

- creamy sauces that should hold the structure

- desserts without additional thickeners

2. Use 17-24% fat when making:

- soups and stews

- lighter curries

- rice and cereals

- dough and biscuits

- dishes where you don't want a dominant coconut taste

Practical advice:

If you only have coconut milk with 17-24% fat, you can:

- cool and use only the top layer, or

- reduce by short cooking to get a denser structure
