Is this the same as Cream of Coconut or the two items completely different?

I'm not sure what Cream of Coconut is, but this stuff is unappetizing. We put some in smoothies and couldn't drink them. If you will tell me how you use cream of coconut, I can tell you whether this is viable as a substitute.

It's different. There's a lot more more pulp in this. Cream of coconut is all liquid. This has actual pieces log coconut. It's delicious and makes great Thai red curry., smoothies, etc.

Sort of. It comes as a block and must be diluted with hot water to make the cream. However, if you are used to buying coconut cream in a can,know that this product, while technically the same, has a really different texture. If you are using it in Indian cooking or Thai, you may not notice the difference, but coconut cream is much smoother and sweeter. I think this product is sufficiently different that it can alter the entire flavor profile of a dish. It is very grainy and far less sweet. Good for what it is. But not really the same as the canned stuff.

I received both types of batches - milky white and orangey cream. They both worked the same for me. All I can say is this stuff seems to tend to vary a little that way.

I have never used coconut cream. Coconut butter is puree coconut flesh with coconut oils, I use in my oatmeal and other hot cereal, on toast, baking and into my stir fry vegetables right before I'm finished cooking.

I purchased unsweetened (don't know if they sell a sweeten version) it has a more subtle coconut flavor than the sweetened alternatives. On the other hand you can control what kind and how much sweetener you want to use. It reminds me of unsweetened coconut milk. If baking with it, it does not yield the same effect as sweetened coconut.

Kernel is the coconut itself. Dr. Bronner has two types of coconut oil, whole kernel and white kernel, the difference? Whole Kernel uses the brown skin that is between the coconut and its shell, while White Kernel doesn't.

The Cream is 100% pure coconut cream, it is neither watered down, nor has the full coconut fat content been diminished. Though it doesn't indicate the water vs coconut content, it is clear when sampled that it is truly a cream and not watered down at all. This coconut cream will even whip up into a whipped cream to die for. Coconut milk wont whip up at all. Another wonderful thing about this cream is that it is awesome for using in making homemade non dairy ice cream. I hope I have helped. I tried various sites to find the coconut vs water content but none of the information I found gave any answer to that.

I have never tried the cream. When I inquired a similar question to the manufacturer their reply: "it is just preference." If you use one, you don't use the other.

I have found that this cream while very good is thinner than the canned coconut milk that I used last.

I think coconut butter is more oily as the Raw coconut is more like ground coconut and is so good you can eat it from a spoon.

This is just plain coconut oil with coloring added, no taste difference. I would recommend getting the same thing without the color, though. My review has my reasons. Enjoy!

There is nothing added at all. From the box currently in my pantry:"Ingredients: coconut cream 100%. NO preservatives or additives. Product of Thailand."In case it matters to you, my understanding (when researching a couple years ago) is that Aroy-D is one of the VERY few coconut products that comes from a company not actively involved in the sex-trade/trafficking industry, as well (which is HUGELY active in that area). And, unless something has recently changed, the paper cartons they are packaged in are BPA-free also.

No, the packaging is completely different. However, the contents are identical.

I don't think there is any difference... maybe they just listed it wrong, I'm sure they're all 2lb canisters. My son drinks the chocolate flavor, but I will tell him that you say that the vanilla cream is really good....

Yes. It is raw and does smell like coconut. The processed versions do not smell like coconut.

I had the exact same concern because the labeling says it's the same product. I did some research and was surprised by what I learned. According to what I read, it's only olive oil that is genuinely graded between virgin and extra virgin and apparently regarding organic coconut oil, there is no distinction whatever--only one kind! I was quite surprised but it does taste exactly the same as the old product which I have been using for about 7 years.

The only diference is one is oily and the other is in cream. I like both of them.

It is the same ingredient. I see no difference and it is much less expensive.
