Notes
This recipe halves well. Cut each ingredient in half and process as usual.
I have not yet tested the recipe with canned coconut cream (like Trader Joe's), but plan to. Canned coconut cream and coconut milk is not as sweet as cream of coconut, so the recipe would need extra sugar.
If you don't have half & half, you can substitute 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of whole milk.
