Why use Heritage Organic Coconut Milk in porridge?
Heritage Organic Coconut Milk adds coconut flavour and a creamy liquid base to the oats while they cook. In this recipe, it is combined with water so the porridge remains soft and spoonable rather than overly rich.
The 400 ml product is suitable for a range of culinary uses including curries, soups, sauces, coconut rice, smoothies, desserts and baking as well as recipes like this porridge.
Serving ideas
Serve the porridge warm as written, with a light topping of desiccated coconut and a few fresh apple slices.
For the approved campaign recipe, keep toppings simple so the apple, coconut and cinnamon remain the main flavours.
Tips for creamy porridge
Cook over medium-low heat rather than rushing the oats over high heat. Stir regularly as the mixture thickens, especially towards the end of cooking.
Dice the apple finely so it softens during the cooking time, and add only a little extra water at the end if you want a looser consistency.
Add the cinnamon and optional coconut sugar during the final minute as specified in the approved recipe.
