Use Cream of Coconut not Coconut Milk
Just a quick reminder to use real cream of coconut and not coconut milk as they are quite different. Cream of coconut has thick, creamy, and already sweetened finish to it. If you use coconut milk, you’ll get something totally different.
Here, due to the creamy already sweetened quality of the coconut milk as our sweetener, we don’t need any other syrups or intense sweeteners to balance drink. The cream of coconut replaces all of that.
