SW Cool ("Good", for those of us not from the 70's era). I
SW tend to shy away from anything dehydrated, but I kinda
SW thought these may actually work pretty well. Mostly I use
SW the CM for richness (as you mention), and I didn't what to
SW sacrifice that with a dehydrated product.

SW Holy crap - I just looked up the fat content of coconut
milk:

SW No wonder it's so good!

If you don't use the powdered stuff very frequently, you could
keep it in the freezer. I do that for freeze-dried coffee and it
seems to keep for ever. Come to think if it, tho' I grind my own
coffee beans, I keep the unground beans in the freezer too. It
is not necessary to defrost before grinding.
