In reply to Naomi. I can say that using coconut milk and or oil in recipe that have another strong flavor, the coconut is masked and not so noticeable at all.

Thanks for sharing! I love your coffee creamer recipe.
I have recently gone gluten, dairy & sugar free. So finding your coffee creamer recipe was a treat!
My concern with this new way of eating is that 90% of the recipes that I find call for coconut oil, water, etc. and I really dislike the taste of coconut!!!!!
Any suggestions for substitutes?
Thanks!

In reply to Rose. Did you purchase canned coconut milk or coconut butter or coconut oil? There's a huge difference in texture between them. Also depending on the brand of the canned coconut milk the end result may not be as good. I like the 365 brand. I'm sorry it didn't work well for you but hope you'll try again with a different canned coconut milk.

Hi. I would like to try this recipe, but I am leary. I have tried to make coconut whipped cream before and failed miserably, or have misconceptions about the end result. I did exactly as you said in the mousse recipe, and what I got was grainy, oily yuck. It did not have anything close to the mouth feel of whipped cream. After the initial 10mn (I’m using a KitchenAid stand mixer with the whisk attachment) I let it run for another 5mn thinking it just hadn’t incorporated or something, and no luck. Any suggestions would sure be appreciated!

Hi Brenda,
Thank you so very much for making this recipe “dairy free”, and I hope that you will also post more dairy free recipes in the future. In my house we have, gluten, egg, and now dairy sensativities, so this is a welcome treat for the holidays. Bless you!!
