Delicious. How many calories in 1 serving?

Hi Diana,

Since these recipes are user-submitted and free to everyone, it would be extremely time consuming and difficult to draw up an accurate nutritional info chart for each and every one.  If you do a quick search, there are many sites that have nutritional info calculators you can try out to get an approximate reading on.

Delicious!! So rich and creamy, with just the right hint of sweetness.

Could I just use coconut milk instead of blending hot water with coconut and letting cool? (This is the same process I use for my coconut milk and would cut down on time.) This sounds very good I will be trying it.

Yes, you could do that. We have a recipe for coconut milk here – http://freecoconutrecipes.com/homemade-coconut-milk-2/ perhaps this is similar to the process you use.

I thought I’d give this a try since I like all of the ingredients but wasn’t sure if I would like them mixed all together.  I cut the recipe in half since it was only me trying it and it came out delicious!  Even though I didn’t mix it in a large blender and the coconut was left slightly ‘chewy’ (which I personally like) it was still very creamy and yummy. I will definitely be making this again and again.
