The milk is made by grating the coconut meat, then putting it into a piece of cheesecloth and squeezing liquid out of it. It's much richer than the juice. Coconut cream take that milk and adds a bunch of sugar, starches and emulsifiers to make it sweet and thick. And that's what I know about coconuts. Oh, and a whole coconut with husk is VERY difficult to husk with a screwdriver. But it can be done if you're truly desperate. :sheckymug:
