There are two products that can be confused but quite different. Cream of coconut is found most often in the Liquor section of the grocery with mixes and things like grenadine. It is used primarily in baking and "fun" drinks. It is the main ingredient in a real Pina Colada. It is also used in baking. Not sure what else. One company that cans it is COCO LOPEZ. I make a yummy cake with it. Make a French Vanilla cake in a 9x13 pan then poke holes with a two pronged meat fork and pour cream of coconut over it. Then mix whipped cream with coconut and or coconut and well drained crush pineapple and "ice" with that. keep refrigerated.

The other product is coconut milk used most often in Thai cooking.

There is quite a difference in the two.
