Allergic to coconut milk and also dairy-free? That's tough, Barbara, but we think we can help. We recently discovered a handful of plant-based half-&-halfs, which are rich and luscious like coconut milk (but often nut-free). We especially like using Ripple brand half-&-half, which you should be able to find in most grocery stores along with other dairy-free creamers. This ingredient would work well to replace coconut milk in sauces, soups, pie fillings, and custards. In recipes like cake and bread, you might be just fine using something like cashew milk. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
