Recipe Notes

*I like canned coconut milk since it is rich and creamy, but you can  carton coconut milk instead.  I do NOT recommend Trader Joes canned coconut milk for this.
**I used a combination of maple syrup and liquid stevia to reduce the overall sugar content, but if you do not like stevia you can double the maple syrup or vice versa.
