Yes, almond coconut milk can be frozen.
While freezing almond coconut milk is possible, it's important to understand that the texture may change. Freezing and thawing can cause the milk solids to separate from the liquid, resulting in a grainy or less smooth consistency.
Here's what you should know:
- Texture Changes: Expect some separation and a potentially grainy texture after thawing. This is typical for nut and seed milks.
- Suitable Uses: Thawed almond coconut milk is best used in smoothies, baking, or cooking where the texture change won't be as noticeable.
- Freezing Process:
- Use an airtight, freezer-safe container. Leave some space at the top to allow for expansion.
- For smaller portions, consider using ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer bag.
- Thawing Process:
- Thaw in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
- Shake well before using to re-incorporate any separated solids.
As the reference states, most nut and seed milks, including coconut, soy, hemp, and oat milk, behave similarly when frozen. The separation of solids is a common occurrence. The same holds true for almond coconut milk blends.
