Does Coconut Milk Freeze Well?
I've heard mixed things about freezing coconut milk, but I want to scale back a dressing recipe and it just seems wasteful to open a can and only use a bit of it. Any advice out there, please?

I've frozen it often. No problems using it later in a curry.

I've also frozen it before- it was fine. Not as good as right out of the jar, but it still worked well.
I've been looking at a powdered coconut milk online and debated ordering some in order to not have to open an entire can to use coconut milk.

I freeze it too, in ice cubes, and then store in a freezer bag. Not quite the same but does it's job in quick Asian sauces.

Make Pina Coladas. I'll be right over.

Thanks guys...it sounds like the frozen leftovers are best in a cooked sauce where the integrity of the initial texture isn't as needed as in a cold dressing.
@carrols~how much sugar syrup do I need to add for those pina coladas? Malibu, Captain's or Bacardi's?

Frozen cubes are probably great for pina coladas.
