I was so so excited when my housemate brought home a tin of sweet condensed COCONUT milk...yep...you read that correctly...coconut! My Make It, Bake It, Fake It dreams have been realised. Finally so many simple recipes that I use to make in my pre dairy free and gluten free lifestyle could be brought to life! Slightly more expensive than I would have spent on coconut milk...but easier than attempting to make it myself.

I've spent the week in a ton of pain...crazy fibromyalgia causing havoc! So, have been trying to keep myself occupied and hoping I can pretend to ignore the pain...not having much luck...but baking is a good stress reliever for me...and this was within the realms of energy usage this week.

This recipe use to be one of my favourite whip up treats...and now I can bring you the paleo version.
