That looks divine – can’t get much in the way of coconut ingredients here except coconut milk, may have to shop online!
Hi Janet, you can use whatever liquid sweetener ( honey, agave or maple syrup ) you wish. Just substitute ( 1:1 ) one sweetener for another and don’t worry about it. You can make your own coconut butter, it’s quick and easy. Blend in high speed ( I use Vitamix blender ) 2 cup raw dried unsweetened shredded coconut for about 5 – 10 minutes or until the coconut butter has no chunks in it. Let me know how it went for you, if you decide to make it!
Oh that’s great to know thank you!
