Hi! Can’t wait to make this for Thanksgiving! Do you use sweetened or unsweetened almond milk and can I use regular sugar instead of turbinado sugar?
The plain almond milk, which is lightly sweetened. But you might be able to get away with unsweetened, too.
Will the regular canned coconut milk work in place of the creamer?
Yes, it will. I would use lite coconut milk, but regular coconut milk will make for richer results. Also, you may end up wanting to add a little sweetener and/or vanilla, to taste.
My daughter is allergic to coconut. Could we omit the coco creamer or would that change the whole consistency?
You can use another dairy-free creamer (like an almond-based one), or if all nuts are out, use your choice of milk beverage, but you may want to start with less and add more as needed to get the consistency you are happy with.
