Substitutes for Coconut Milk (Light) in gelato

Light coconut milk is a reduced-fat, water-diluted extract of grated mature coconut. In gelato it acts as a non-dairy fat and flavor source, delivering coconut character and body with far less fat than full-fat coconut milk and almost no sweetening or anti-freeze power. If you're out of coconut milk (light) or need a different profile, these are the closest functional swaps — ranked by how similar they are on the balancing numbers, with the impact of each swap.
