While it may seem simple and basic, one of the most confusing mix-ups in tropical recipes is between "cream of coconut" and "coconut cream." I'll often say it wrong out of habit and many recipes you'll come across use the words interchangeably. One of the most common questions I'm asked is if you can sub them for each other... which you can't.
So this video is a basic explanation of coconut milk, coconut cream, and cream of coconut. Many cocktail recipes call for "coconut cream" when they really mean "cream of coconut." But I think that confusion mainly stems from the proliferation of coconut products in recent decades due to increased coconut and palm oil production and consumption. The byproduct ends up being more coconut water, coconut milk, and coconut cream, and back in the day "coconut milk" was less common and "coconut cream" was not around.
TL;DR In a cocktail recipe, coconut cream means "cream of coconut" and vice versa.
