Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 One tip Shawn.... you get the same flavor with " lite " coconut milk... just a little less richness and a lot less fat... If you liked the coconut milk, btw, sweeten some " lite " a bit more than you'd normally like, and add a tiny pinch of salt. Stir well to dissolve the sugar. Pour it into pan and pop it in the freezer. Every half hour or so - go stir it up well (scrape as it gets harder) with a fork. When it's frozen - it's the best coconout sorbet!!! Great over a brownie or chocolate cake... Easily made in an ice cream maker too, but I think I remember you having quite limited space (and therefore probably no room for extra appliances). , subprong <subprong wrote: > > I think this is the first time I've used coconut milk.

Actually - you got me on that one. I've never seen an indication either way on the cans I've found. My current can says nothing, and only lists coconut milk, water and K-metaisulfide (preservative). Usually only says coconut milk & water, for the brands I found in FL (which I unfortunately don't remember). > I had two cans of Taste of Thai.
