    Coconut cream is thicker and richer. More calories and tastes better IMO!!!

    Dh (an ex chef) wants to know what you are cooking?

    depends on what you are cooking as to what if any difference it will make

    They are exactly the same (i.e. coconut meat which has been processed and cut with water), but there is a higher proportion of water in coconut milk. Coconut cream tends to thicken more when you cook with it. What are you making?
