    ❓FAQ

    Is coconut milk powder necessary?

    Coconut milk powder provides the rich base, but you can experiment with other plant-based milk powders.

    Although it's not the typical recommendation, feel free to experiment with adjusting the sugar quantity to achieve your preferred level of sweetness.

    Can I use regular sugar instead of coconut sugar?

    While coconut sugar adds a unique flavor, regular sugar can for sure be substituted.

    Is there a way to enhance the coconut flavor?

    Consider adding coconut extract for an extra burst of coconut goodness.

    Can I use this dulce de leche as a topping for other desserts?
