What it is

Coconut milk powder is made from dried coconut milk. Coconut milk is the liquid extracted from the flesh of mature coconuts. The milk is then dehydrated, often using spray-drying, to create a powder that retains much of the original flavor and fat content.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use coconut milk powder as a dairy-free alternative to milk powder, adding richness, creaminess, and a distinct coconut flavor. It is commonly found in baked goods, desserts, sauces, soups, smoothies, and as an ingredient in dairy-free "creamer" products.

Health notes

Coconut milk powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of saturated fat, primarily medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). JECFA has evaluated coconut oil, a component of coconut milk, and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence on the health effects of coconut milk powder at typical consumption levels is limited, but it is often used in products marketed for specific dietary needs.

Allergen info

Coconut is considered a tree nut by the FDA, making coconut milk powder a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
