Reviews
This is exactly what I was looking for! Single
I made this as directed. It’s similar to another one I made yesterday. I like the addition of vanilla although I’m not certain I could taste it. I still thought this was on the sweet side. Made this with coconut milk..and next time I’ll add half the amount of maple syrup.
