Help!, need a really good recipe?

Question

Well, this is my story...My 10yr. old wanted to see what coconut milk tasted like so we purchased a can. Needless to say she did not care for it too much. I promised her that I would find a really good, kid friendly recipe we could use it in. So far nothing appeals on-line. Does anyone out there have any good ideas? You'll be my friend forever! Thanks.

Answer 1

Does she like shrimp? What about coconut shrimp?
OOhhh...or this sounds good -

Answer 3

I can't think of any baked goods my kids like w/coconut milk. But... we do make these smoothy type of drinks that are soooo yummy!! (And easy!)

You need:
1 small banana, coarsely chopped
1 (16 ounce) can pineapple juice
3 tablespoons coconut milk
1 tablespoon white sugar

Then you:
Slice banana, place in blender, pour in pineapple juice, coconut milk and sugar; blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and serve.

You could also make non-alcoholic pina colada's. They use a little more of the coconut milk.

You need:
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup pineapple juice
4 tablespoons white sugar
8 cubes ice
(after the little ones go to bed you can add 1/2 cup rum!)

Then you:
In a blender, combine coconut milk, pineapple juice, rum, sugar and ice. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses, and serve immediately

Have fun!

Answer 4

Either add it into homemade ice cream by substituting it for some of the liquid. Or just mix some into pre made ice cream and refreeze it. Whats not to love about ice cream. Or try making a normal whit cake batter with it and whatever liquid it says to use substitute that much coconut milk. Then ice it and stick on coconut shreds. That will also be very fun for your ten year old!
