2. Can kids drink this?
Absolutely — it’s 100 % alcohol-free, creamy, and sweet!
3. What type of coconut milk is best?
Full-fat canned coconut milk gives the richest flavor, but light works for fewer calories.

Blend longer or add a tablespoon of aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas) before blending for a foamy top.
