Recipe Notes:

• Use almond, hemp, flax or oat milk if you prefer, however, coconut milk lends a sweetness that the others do not.
• If it is too sweet for your tastes, you could use 1/2 cup coconut milk and 1/2 cup of another non-dairy milk, and / or eliminate the honey.
• Canned coconut milk is preferred but will usually be separated when you open the can. In order to blend before using, shake vigorously in a jar or lidded bowl until coconut cream is no longer separated from coconut water. Then, measure out the amount you are using for the recipe.
