Notes

*Greek yogurt can be replaced with coconut cream for a dairy-free option. Coconut cream is the thick white fat that you see when you open a can of coconut milk. You want just this thick cream, rather than coconut milk. You can also buy canned coconut cream online or from select grocery stores.
