Coconut milk soleseife help

[AAShillito]

Here is the recipe I normally use for my soleseife, and here is the only refrigerated coconut milk available. I normally use the split method.
So I would dissolve the lye in an equivalent amount of water, then dissolve the salt in warm coconut milk, freeze the coconut milk then combine?
I trust you guys .

Huh? Split method means you add the coconut milk to your melted oils. I would not do that in frozen form.
You would dissolve the salt in your water, then dissolve the lye in the same water. Your coconut milk only has 4g of fat in a 240ml serving, so you would need to work how much extra superfat this will yield, but it sounds like it's primarily water which means you will need to reduce your water in the lye solution by an equivalent amount. My vote is to get a can of coconut milk or cream which has a much higher fat content. For example the current can I have in the pantry has 22g of fat per 100ml (so 52g in 240ml by comparison).

Thank-you! I will go find my math cap!
