Do you know the difference? I didn't. Not until I started using it to replace regular milk in baking. 

Canned coconut milk is best used in cooking things like Tuscan Chicken. I made this recipe on YouTube. Check it out! You can also use a carton of coconut milk if that's what you have.

Coconut milk in a carton has the same consistency as regular milk so it's a great alternative in baking. You can also use almond milk or lactose-free milk. I have tried soy and it's a little thick but it depends on the brand. You may have to experiment if you like using soy milk. 

If you use a different kind of alternative milk, let me know! I would love to find out what other kinds of alternative milk people like to use!

Happy baking!
