- Instead of coconut milk you could use other dairy free milks such as almond milk or cashew milk
- I recommend using full fat coconut milk rather than low fat coconut milk – full fat coconut milk helps give this milkshake it’s rich and creamy flavour

Will the great lakes gelatin Red container work….it's what I have on hand? Thank you
HI Jerri-Lynn. Unfortunately the red container gelatin won't work as it won't dissolve in the cold liquid. My general rule of thumb is red container = warm recipes and cold container = cold recipes. Hope that helps!
Decadent! Can't wait for warm California days so I can sip on this. 🙂
Warm California weather sounds like heaven right about now!
Delicious. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting 🙂
