Hmmmm. I am going to try this when I get my new Power Grind juicer that will make almond milk

If it can make pulpless almond milk then I'll bet it can make the coconut milk too without having to hand strain it!

@333rembrandt Thanks for your comment! We have found that no matter how strong the blender, you still must strain the milk. If you don't, you'll end up with a mushy consistency rather than a creamy, frothy consistency.

I've used your recipe several times and it's great. My only question is how do you do this and not burn your hands? Right now I'm just letting the first bunch cool a while before I squeeze it. Then I'll add the rest of the water and let it cool again before i do the 2nd squeeze. Any problem with this? Thanks.

@razastrakhan What you're doing sounds fine.  One could also just use warm water instead of hot. Thanks!

Thanks for this. We've tried this with smaller bags we found locally. It worked well, so we ordered a bucket from you.

I would imagine that one could use a Vitamix and blend it long enough to completely pulverize the coconut fibers into a creamy consistency, with no need to strain it. I do that with the woody ends of asparagus and the woody stems of shiitake mushrooms, and it works great.

How come I didn't know it's that EASY?! No more buying coconut milk with stabilizers, thickeners, preservatives - or at high prices!

Brilliant! Thank you very much!

Awww this is such a cute video!!! Thanks for showing how to make coconut milk from dried coconut! <3

I am a huge fan of coconut milk but would love to learn how to follow this video and make thick coconut milk like I buy in stores. Shredded coconut is way cheaper than coconut milk so I can't wait to try this!

Interesting......... Cool, thanks!

[Edukah]

is it possible to make cream of dried coconut with hand blender and add some water until become like milk? in this way we won't waste anything, and no need to filter it.

[koolaidolio]

@Edukah It would come out very "soupy" and not the consistency of milk.

[TropicalTraditions]

@koolaidolio The recipe provides a coconut milk that has a consistency slightly thinner than whole milk, but there is no way to make the coconut milk and not strain the dried coconut because there's no way the coconut will dissolve.
