The recipes for whipped coconut cream calls for skimming the fat off the
top of the can. This is done by first refrigerating the can. OTOH, the
fat content of coconut milk/cream varies widely as there doesn't appear
to be any standards set in the brands available here. You have to pretty
much calculate fat content from the nutritional labeling. The easiest
way is to just multiply the calories per serving by the number of
servings per can. The one with the highest number has the highest
percentage of fat.

In the case of coconut milk, I don't automatically buy the cheapest can.
