His Masters Voice Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBF Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) 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? Edited July 23, 2014 by VBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyG Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I want to use it in a curry, so I won't freeze. 4 days later, in the fridge, it's still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Masters Voice Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Well, it didn't last this long, but the cream was still OK after 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
