Coconut milk . . . not in a can please?

[joybird]

I always used to make coconut milk yogurt with canned coconut milk but if I remember correctly, isn't there a way to get coconut milk from coconut cream online somewhere?  I don't have time to use fresh coconuts and I make too much yogurt for that anyway.  I do use the So Delicious coconut milk for other things but I think it might be too watery for yogurt.

The coconut cream concentrate from Tropical Traditions is probably what you're thinking of, but it really doesn't make coconut milk IME. 

I have purchased coconut cream in aseptic packages, you just have to thin it with some water.  But it's a quart size, so that's like half a gallon of coconut milk to use at once (which isn't practical for me). 

Or the other option is to buy raw dry coconut in bulk and make your own.  You could probably make it and freeze it in portions so you can only do it like once a month or something.

Thank you, the Tropical Traditions is what I was thinking of.  So it doesn't make coconut milk?  What does it make?  Do you happen to know what the brand is of the creamed coconut in aseptic packages?  Is it the kind that's tightly sealed in plastic and in a box?  I have some of that but the package is really tiny, hard as a rock and I think it cost a fortune. I haven't tried anything with it yet - I actually forgot I had it in my cupboard until just now.

I haven't had much luck getting it to make anything following the instructions that were on it.  Mostly I use it as a spread.  It's really yummy that way, and could probably be softened and mixed with other things for that purpose.

The brand I have of coconut cream is a liter aseptic package, which is the box like what shelf stable soy milk comes in.  Brand is Aroy-D and I found it at an Asian market.

Oh! If I can get it in those larger packages that would be fantastic.  Exactly what I'm looking for - thank you!
