Notes
- Use full fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier texture; light or unsweetened alternatives will reduce fat and richness.
- Maple syrup, beet sugar, or granulated sugar can be used interchangeably as sweeteners.
- Fresh berries and toasted coconut on top add freshness and crunch but are optional.
