Notes
***Coconut Cream should not to be confused with coconut milk. It is a sweet cream of coconut with sugar already added. It can usually be found where the alcoholic beverages are found because it's used to make pina coladas. I've used two brands - Coco Lopez or Cocoa Real. The Coco Lopez is in a can and Coco Real is in a plastic bottle. I can usually find it right next to the cherry grenadine. It contains no alcohol).
