July 23, 201411 yr I bought some coconut cream by accident … I thought I picked up a can of coconut milk, so I used less of the cream to make what I was cooking. Can you freeze coconut cream? I presume not, but better to ask. How long does it keep in the refrigerator after you have opened the can?
July 23, 201411 yr Never tried freezing it but I've kept some in a screw-topped jar in the fridge for 2 weeks and it was perfect after a good stir. The smell will change if it goes off, so you'll know! Why not try freezing a little of it as an experiment?

July 24, 201411 yr You can freeze it. The taste is the same, but the texture isn't - it sort of flocculates. It's fine for things like coconut rice, but I wouldn't use it for a curry or a yam.
