Recipe Notes
As mentioned, this recipe calls for this recipe calls for coconut flakes.This recipe also includes chopped pecans. Also, this recipe calls for evaporated milk.
However, if you want to substitute an alternative for the evaporated milk, here are a couple of ideas for you to try.
Coconut Milk is one kind of milk that you can try (1:1 in a recipe) in place of the evaporated milk. Using half and half instead of the evaporated milk is another idea that you can try. I have not tried either however, I suspect that both may be worth a try for you. Please see post for details on this recipe. Also, nutritional values may vary.
