Sometimes I make rice 'pudding' with a mix of soy and coconut milk and sugar, cinnamon etc. I make this with leftover rice when camping using soy milk in the little asceptic juice box type boxes.
I also make curries a lot and cook Thai at least once a week. I posted a soup recipe some time ago with shrimp, some coconut milk, spinach etc. It is very low in fat. As long as the total recipe is low in fat it is ok. But beware; one time I made peanut sauce with coconut milk and served it on noodles with chicken and veggies. I used to make it all the time. But one time I had peanutty soy ice cream for dessert- together it was too much and I got D.
Right now I am eating a vegetarian curry made in the crockpot. It had lots of veggies, chickpeas and a little broth. After cooking, lite coconut milk and spinach is stirred in and it is served over rice. That is an acceptable amount of fat-without the rice it probably would be too high in fat.
I also use coconut milk in blended soups like creamy squash soup in place of cream. It has to have the right flavor profile to sub coconut milk.
I make a french toast with coconut milk too. Some good baguette left out overnight, sliced, soak in egg whites and lite coconut milk (can thin with soy milk) and cardamom. Then I take chopped fresh pineapple, more cardamom and maple syrup and heat in a pan to pour on top. It is best to not top french toast and pancakes with margarine.
Lite coconut milk can be used in baking too. I posted a recipe once for bananas, coc milk and cake mix. Lite coconut milk has much less fat than oil, so used carefully it can be the 25% or less fat our food can contain.
