I have never used Coconut milk, what section of the Grocery Store do you find this. This sounds so delish. Thanks!
Joanie Zisk says
Hi Peggy,
You can find coconut milk in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. It should be near the cow's milk and soy milks. You can actually use any type of milk in this recipe but I happen to love the flavor the coconut milk adds to it.
