Coconut milk

Ah, coconut milk. What a versatile ingredient. It’s used in curries, smoothies, and now, vegan confectionery.

And as it turns out, high-fat coconut milk can have some pretty amazing benefits when it comes to vegan desserts.

I remember back in my early vegan days, I was trying to make a chocolate cake coating. I had a recipe that called for a small amount of coconut milk, but I accidentally misread it and ended up using double the amount. Luckily for me, the coconut milk I had on hand was 13% fat, which ended up being a happy accident.
