Hi everyone, I have over the years seen recipes using coconut cream powder but could never find the stuff. Today things have changed! I found an Asian market that carries it and I bought a 13 oz box for $4. I have found a few recipes on the net but nothing that sounds spectacular. Does anyone have any good recipes for a dehydrated freezer bag meals using the coconut powder? I'm interested in Thai and Indian food but ill try anything that sounds good. Thanks

Thai curries. My local Asian grocers have curry paste packets. Take one, add coco cream powder, dehydrated veggies, parboiled rice, and protein (I use tofu knots or dried wheat gluten, but chicken or fresh fish also work well). Great stuff – tasty and nutritionally dense.

I also add the coco cream powder to warm breakfast mixes. Some type(s) of grain (rice, quinoa, oats, etc), pistachios, freeze dried mango.

You can add it to just about anything that can use some extra fat and will tolerate a bit of coconut flavor.

Edit: Also works in drinks such as chai or tai tea.

I do essentially the same meal as Jonathan (usually with FD chicken and Minute Rice), only I use curry powder instead of paste, I sometimes add just a teeny bit of tomato powder, some raisins, and hot sauce.

It's really good!

Edited to add: You could also make a Thai-style coco-chicken soup — coconut cream, chicken broth powder, veggies, FD chicken, and rice noodles (at your local Asian market). Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and lime powder.

That should give you some ideas :) PS: you can use it instead of dry milk in most any recipe….

One of my favorite deserts on the PCT last year was one I adapted from home and thought I was going to either be killed and have it stolen on the trail or, just have it ripped from my hand with the perpetrator then running down the trail as I sat to eat lunch.

1 small pack instant vanilla pudding
Several crumbled Nilla wafers (119 calories per oz)
Replace the milk with with the appropriate amount of coconut powder or Nido.

Mix all ingredients in empty peanut butter jar, wait 10 minutes, hide some place and eat

Mine is just another variation of the above–but it's definitely packing calories and flavor, if that's what you're into.

3/4c Peanut Butter
2T Thai Red Curry Paste
3T Coconut Cream Powder
Lime Powder (2 packets) (TrueLime)
1T Fish Sauce

Dried Cilantro
Dried Carrots
Dried Peas

Ramen (2 or 3 packets)

Rehydrate the ramen and dried veggies (if included) in boiled water–the less water the better, you may have to wait longer and stir to get good hydration. Add in the PB/Coconut/Curry mix. Stir to combine.

It will be soupy, unless you pour off some of the water. Pack weight is >130 kCal / oz.

This would be for about 2 or 3 people. I never dialed in the ratios, so you might have to try it yourself.
