To keep open coconut cream fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for 5-7 days, up to 2 weeks at the most.
Here are some additional tips:
- Never store opened coconut cream in the metal can it came in. This can lead to metallic flavors in your cream.
- You can also freeze coconut cream for up to 2 months. To freeze, transfer the cream to a freezer-safe container or bag.
- If you're using the coconut cream within a week, you can keep it in a mason jar. It might start to separate, but smelling it will tell you if it's still good.
- After freezing, it's best to thaw the cream in the refrigerator overnight.
