Very high saturated fat and sugar, no thanks.
That is totally fair and we appreciate the feedback! 😊 If you would like a lighter version, you can swap the full-fat coconut cream for light coconut cream or even blended silken tofu to significantly reduce the saturated fat, and reduce the sweetener by half or replace it with a small amount of medjool dates or maple syrup for a more natural sugar option. It comes out just as creamy and delicious but much lighter! We hope that helps and thank you for stopping by! 🌱❤️
