Hi! Just wondering- for the coconut whipped cream, did you use the canned coconut milk, coconut butter, or the boxed creamed coconut?? Just wondering what exactly to use when you say "coconut cream" :) thank you! i'm looking forward to making these this weekend!
Hi, Sam! I use either chilled full-fat coconut milk or canned coconut cream (trader joes has it). Hope this helps!
