Can you use coconut milk and cow's milk interchangeably?

Yes, if you are making a recipe that requires traditional cow's milk, you can use coconut milk at a one to one ratio. Just keep in mind that the final product may have a slightly different flavor. Also, keep in mind that coconut milk found in a carton in the milk section is going to be different from the type you can buy in a can. The canned milk is much thicker and creamier, while the coconut milk in the carton is more diluted with water.

Is coconut milk vegan?

Coconut milk is 100 percent dairy-free. It's made from mixing water with the ground up flesh of a coconut. That means it's also suitable for anyone on a vegan diet.
