Best Answer

Coconut milk is the strained juice from the meat of a fresh coconut. Many confuse the watery stuff found in the center of a coconut to be coconut milk wheras this is actually the coconut's stored water supply. Coconut water is a fresh and tasty source of emergency water when one is stranded on an island. However, the strained coconut milk should be drank in very small quantities as it is a natural laxative. Coconut milk is fairly commonly used in cooking, especially in desserts. Coconut Cream is the whipped form of coconut milk (it whips fairly easily). Sometimes, when purchasing coconut cream by the can, the contents will come in a cream form.
