About Coconut Milk Density
Coconut milk is made by blending coconut meat with water and straining. Its density varies depending on whether it's full-fat, light, or homemade. Full-fat canned coconut milk averages around 1.03 g/ml, meaning one cup typically weighs about 247 grams. Shake well before measuring—fat separation can make top and bottom layers vary in thickness.
Cooking & Usage Tips
- For the creamiest curries, choose full-fat coconut milk and avoid “light” varieties.
- Warm the can slightly and shake before opening to reduce separation.
- In baking, coconut milk can substitute for dairy milk at a 1:1 ratio, adding richness.
- Refrigerate unused coconut milk and use within 5 days, or freeze in ice cube trays.
