Can you freeze coconut milk?

Yes, you can freeze coconut milk to extend its shelf life. Both canned coconut milk and carton coconut milk freeze well for up to 3 months. To freeze canned coconut milk, pour it into an airtight container or an ice cube tray for convenient pre-portioned amounts in cooking and smoothies.

Freezing causes the fat and liquid layers to separate, giving thawed coconut milk a grainy or clumpy appearance. To restore smooth consistency after thawing overnight in the fridge, heat it gently on the stove while whisking, or blend it in a high-speed blender. Thawed coconut milk works best in cooked dishes, soups, and smoothies.
