Recipe Notes

I mentioned that this recipe calls for coconut milk. Coconut milk is a vegan and paleo 'dairy' ingredient alternative. But, if you are not a follower of these diets, feel free to use whole milk or heavy cream (make this lower in carbs!).
Also mentioned is that honey is used as a sweetener to the ingredient list for this recipe.
Alternatives that can also be used include agave, sugar alternative, or sugar.
