So how do you reincorporate it? Do you blend it every time? I tried mixing it but it just got chunky lol…sorry, new to this!

Shawna – it is the coconut cream on top – just like will happen with canned coconut milk 🙂

Is this normal? Or did I not strain it enough maybe? TIA

I had recently purchased a “reconditioned” Vitamix and have been making such delicious Almond milk. It is a bit expensive to make. I just happened to have some coconut flakes – much less extensive than Almonds – and wondered if I could make milk. I have never liked the store bought Almond or Coconut milks so this has been such a delight. I just made the first batch of Coconut milk and added 3 dates not knowing if it would need any sweetener or not. I didn’t even heat the water first – just put it all in Vitamix and let it heat in there. OMG….sooooo good. I also used dates with the Almond milk. Only problem is that they are both SO good I just want to drink it all up. Next time I will make a double batch with 8 cups of water instead of 4. I did use the Vitamix Nut Bag to drain it and it did an excellent job but I need a new plan because the liquid was very hot making the bag difficult to handle. BTW I am so glad that I spent the $$$ for the Vitamix. Now there are so many different things I find myself doing that I didn’t do before. The coconut meal is now off to the dehydrated.

Coconut Cream Concentrate won’t work sorry. It’s not the same.

I have Coconut Creme concentrate from Tropical Traditions….do you think I can make coconut milk from this? I am trying to make a caramel sauce & the recipe calls for coconut milk, but the two batches I already tried, were super runny & never caramelized. 🙁

Thanks
