Guide tip: 

  • The addition of citrus juices (orange and lemon) and zest (orange), packs a ton of flavor, as well as a punch of immune-system supporting Vitamin C. 

MOBE kitchen tip: 

  • This is a great recipe to serve for guests this summer, because you can make it ahead of time, chill it, then serve once dessert time rolls around. 

Recipe notes:

  • On occasion, the sweetened condensed coconut milk has larger bits of cane sugar in the cans, so whisk well upon adding to the other ingredients and break up any larger chunks of sugar with a fork.  
  • Sweetened condensed coconut milk is a dairy free alternative for recipes using sweetened condensed milk. 
  • For a 100% non-dairy dessert, look for plant-based frozen whipped toppings that are dairy free.
