Coconut Cream is a thicker version of Coconut Milk. It is unsweetened, but heat treated, then packaged and sold in cans or cartons.

Shake before opening.

If you're looking for a sweetened version to use in mixed drinks, you're after Cream of Coconut.

Coconut Cream is different from Creamed Coconut.
