    How Long Does Coconut Milk Last In The Fridge?

    Coconut milk can keep in the fridge for seven to 10 days if opened. Unopened cartons can last until the best-before date on the package.

    Can You Freeze Leftover Coconut Milk?

    Canned coconut milk spoils very quickly so be sure to freeze it if you won’t be using it all up. We recommend freezing coconut milk in ice cube trays and popping out cubes, as needed. You can add a handful of cubes to smoothies, soups, stews, and more. You can also thaw coconut milk first by storing it in the refrigerator overnight.

    You have never had a homecooked dish of Thai Coconut Shrimp Curry this good! With a coconut curry sauce and succulent shrimp, this recipe is so delicious and beyond easy to make.
