I made this tonight with Carnation Coconut Milk so it obviously wasn't as coconutty as Tasty's version using real coconut milk. I'd like to try it with real coconut milk (maybe the low fat one) to compare but I quite liked this.
I didn't read your review until after I made it Tasty but I did use the spatula even though the recipe doesn't advise you to and I had no trouble mixing it for the specified time.
