Let out your pants and enjoy.

Any recipe that ends with those words sounds like a keeper to me! LOL!

1 can coconut milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 bag of flaked coconut

This sounds like something I have to make. For that can of coconut
milk, is that the stuff I buy at the Asian market for making tom ka gai,
or is it the stuff I buy at the liquor store for making pina coladas?
They're two different products, and you don't want to get them mixed up.
(Meaning: I don't want to get them mixed up AGAIN. The tom ka gai
(Thai coconut-lime-chicken-cilantro soup) made with the pina colada
stuff was one the world's truly horrible concoctions, and I made it for
Jim when he was sick, and he's never let me forget it.)

Seems to me that if it was the pina-colada stuff, you could just freeze it
directly, without the condensed milk or flaked coconut.

But yeah, using the coco-loco stuff for tom kha gai *would* be revolting.
<shudder>

OH GOD I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT THAT AND IT'S MAKING ME GAG!

Ahhh....Oreos save the day...

But the stuff I buy at the liquor store just says that it is cream of
coconut. It isn't mixed with pineapple or anything. Original poster:
tell us what brand of coconut you use when making this recipe.

As for making you gag ... glad to help!

Not mixed with pineapple, but mixed with SUGAR. I'm looking at a can of
cream of coconut as I write this. The ingredient list on the label says,
"sugar, coconut, water, salt" and then a list of chemicals I don't feel like
typing out. The stuff is extremely sweet; there's no need at all to add
sugar to cream of coconut.

Go ahead and check the label on your liquor-store cream of coconut.

By contrast, looking at a can of coconut milk, I see "coconut extract,
water" and two chemicals. It isn't sweetened. So if you wanted something
sweet, you'd expect to add sugar -- like the sugar in a can of sweetened
condensed milk.

I'd be willing to bet that the OP used coconut milk rather than cream of
coconut. And as I said, you could simply pour cream of coconut directly into
a popsicle mold and freeze it into something like you'd get by following the
recipe with coconut milk.

No, I don't think she is; Julia's been quite the lady in this forum.

I suppose you brought that particular vulgarity up so that you can mention
the pride you take in your training: You've spent countless hours with
things like that pounding your uvula like a punching bag, so you would NEVER
gag in those circumstances.

Now if you could only cook, OTHER people wouldn't have as much reason to
gag.

Bob

Your recipe sounds good, I will try it.

In Cozumel, you can buy coconut popsicles in a bodega across the street
from the hospital. Theirs have plenty of coconut. I go there 3-4 times
a year and I never miss buying one. I have tried other flavors, but I go
back to the coconut.

A man goes to the store to purchase an inflatable doll. The store
keeper
asks him some questions.

Q. Do you want a male or female doll?

A. Female

Q. Do you want a black or white doll?

A. White

Q. Do you want a Christian or Muslim doll?

A. The man is confused. He says that he didn't know there was such a

distinction between religions and asks what the difference is.

The store keeper tells him that the difference is that the Muslim doll
blows up.

You got the punchline wrong. ;-)

The Muslim dall blows _itself_ up...

All love dalls are inflatable! Right?

Hi Julia,
Sorry for the long delay in responding.

I used coconut milk, the kind you get in the grocery store to make tom
kha gai. (I also make tom kha gai and have a great recipe!) - It's not
sweet at all. Just very, very rich. I'm not sure what "cream of
coconut" is, so I can't say if it's an acceptable substitute. Just use
the milk if you're in doubt.
