Coconut Cream and Milks | Tuk Tuk Mart | Nationwide Delivery

Coconut Cream and Milks. Whether you are making a Thai green curry, a Vietnamese chè dessert, or a simple weeknight laksa, the base ingredient you choose makes all the difference. Rich, aromatic, and naturally dairy free, our range covers everything from everyday cooking staples to premium organic options.

Coconut cream contains a higher ratio of coconut to water, making it thicker, richer, and more intensely flavoured than standard coconut milk. It is the go-to choice for curries, rendang, satay sauces, and South-East Asian desserts where you want a dense, indulgent result. It also works beautifully in cocktails — a proper piña colada calls for cream of coconut rather than the lighter milk variety.

Coconut milk is more diluted, making it ideal for soups, smoothies, rice dishes, and lighter curries where a subtle coconut flavour is needed without the full richness. Both products are naturally vegan, lactose free, and gluten free, making them suitable for a wide range of dietary requirements.

We stock trusted brands including Aroy-D and Chaokoh, widely regarded as two of the finest coconut cream and coconut milk producers in Thailand. You will find full-fat, light, and organic options across our range, with fast UK delivery on every order. Loads of Coconut Cream and Milks.

Q: What is the difference between coconut milk and coconut cream?

A: Coconut cream contains a higher ratio of coconut to water — it is thicker, richer, and more intensely flavoured. Coconut milk is more diluted and lighter. Use coconut cream for Thai curries, rendang, and desserts where you want a thick, indulgent result. Coconut milk works better in soups, lighter curries, and smoothies.

Q: Can I substitute coconut cream for coconut milk?

A: Yes, but you need to thin it down. Mix roughly equal parts coconut cream and water to approximate the consistency of coconut milk. Going the other way — using coconut milk instead of coconut cream — will give you a thinner, less rich result. For desserts, stick to the specified product.

Q: Is coconut milk dairy free?

A: Yes. Coconut milk and coconut cream are entirely plant-based and contain no dairy. They are widely used in vegan, lactose-free, and dairy-free cooking and are suitable for most dietary requirements. Check individual products for any allergen cross-contamination notices.

Q: What is coconut cream used for in cooking?

A: Coconut cream is used as the base for Thai curries, laksa, and rendang. It appears in Vietnamese che desserts, Filipino ginataan, and South-East Asian rice puddings. It is also used in cocktails — a piña colada uses cream of coconut, which is a sweetened version.

Q: Where can I buy coconut milk and coconut cream in the UK?
