Coconut Milk: mL to Grams and Grams to mL
If a recipe lists canned coconut milk in mL and your scale reads grams, the short answer is that 100 mL of canned coconut milk weighs about 96 g. Canned coconut milk is lighter than water, so the two numbers are never the same.
The Formula
mL to grams: Weight (g) = Volume (mL) × 0.96
Grams to mL: Volume (mL) = Weight (g) ÷ 0.96
Worked Examples
- 15 mL of canned coconut milk = 14.4 g
- 250 mL of canned coconut milk = 240 g
- 200 g of canned coconut milk = 208.3 mL

- 1 cup (236.6 mL) = 227.1 g
Why Canned Coconut Milk Weighs What It Does
Canned coconut milk is water blended with coconut fat, and the fat keeps it a little lighter than water. The density is about 0.96 g per mL.
Measuring Tips
The cream rises to the top of an unshaken can. Shake or whisk the can before measuring so the fat and water are mixed.
