Additional Notes / Tips

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for that rich, creamy texture — skim versions are emotional damage.
  • Chill the filling completely before adding whipped cream.
  • For extra crunch, mix a few crushed nuts into the topping.
  • Keep it refrigerated — it tastes best cold and classy.
  • Perfect for Sunday desserts or “I deserve this” moments.
