Coco real cream of coconut reviews

Top critical review

3.0 out of 5 starsUseful but a cloyingly sweet and artificial.

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2022

This was a off hand purchase. I wanted coconut cream on hand for baking. I did make a vegan oreo cheesecake with it for New Years. I didn't know it had additional sugar in it. The cake was so sweet. I could barely eat it. I didn't use any sugar myself, except the crust had oreos.

This has the consistency and familiarity of condensed milk. The kind you get in a small can and use in pumpkin pie. I could see a vegan using this instead of that can. That said, I wouldn't buy it again for any other reason. It was like a thick sugar syrup. It had an off, artificial, taste I needed to cover up with other ingredients. It tasted very little like coconut. I don't really like the taste of coconut, so I'm actually fine with that, but if you want coconut cream... Just buy a can of full fat coconut milk.

Is Coco Real the same as coconut cream?

Coconut cream is unsweetened and very thick; cream of coconut is very sweet with a syrupier texture. This means that recipes that call for each are optimized for sugar content. The original piña colada recipe calls for cream of coconut, but some pina colada recipes may call for coconut cream and simple syrup.
