Notes

A helpful tip from a reader: On the canned coconut milk, it is easier to refrigerate it over night (or longer) and then turn it upside down while being careful not to shake it, open and drain liquid, then scoop out the cream. I have never opened a can of room temp full fat coconut milk with it already separated.
Unfortunately, I am unable to accurately calculate nutrition facts for this recipe due to the coconut milk separation…sorry :(
