I'm sure you could, as it would act the same as milk. However, you probably want to cut the amount or thin the coconut milk a bit, as it's so much richer. Be careful. Milk contains fats that may be necessary for some recipes to work. It also contains proteins that react with eggs, flours, etc. Coconut milk and creme de coconut are entirely different food products and won't react chemically the same way. If all you needed the milk for originally was moisture then the substitution may be fine. I'd experiment first when it didn't matter if it fails. Also, if using coconut milk to a savory recipe, add it as close to the end, and try not to boil -- to prevent curdling.
A mature coconut should yield about 12 oz of copra (coconut meat) after shelling and peeling off the brown backing. This is equivalent to about 4 oz dried coconut. Dried grated coconut runs about 4 oz to one cup lightly packed so a whole coconut will be about 1 cup of dried grated coconut. So if an Indian recipe calls for "1/2 dried coconut grated", figure about 2 oz of dried grated coconut or 6 oz of fresh.
No, it will not give the same flavour. Coconut water is a thin, watery liquid that tastes sugary but not incredibly coconutty. Coconut milk has the pulp added and is a thick, white, creamy liquid with a strong coconut flavour.
Coconut meat is the white part of the coconut inside the coconut. For most people this is the only way they know coconut, the coconut meat. The actual fruit is a hard shelled nut with "milk" inside the center of the nut. The "meat" is the white sweet edges of the inside of the shell.
Maybe you used fresh coconut (which holds a lot of water)?
they might get sick same affect as milk drink to much might get sick
There are a variety of products and byproducts that you can get from a coconut. First, when you cut open a coconut, in the center is coconut water. The younger the coconut, the more waters will be in the center (optimal at around 7-9 months). Coconut water is one of the best beverages one can put in his/her body (see www.TRUCOCO.com for information on coconut water). As a coconut ages, the white part on the inside (this is called the flesh, or meat of the the coconut) grows and the amount of water typically decreases. The white part of the coconut is used to make a variety of products, such as coconut milk, coconut oil and coconut chips. All coconut products have a great amount of health benefits.
