I do not recommend using canned coconut milk. Coconut milk is high in saturated fat, a known contributor to high cholesterol. Plus, it's quite thick, and you want something thinner. For this recipe, I recommend the coconut beverage in a carton, that's found in the refrigerated dairy section of the grocery store. I used a "regular" (sweetened) one for this. If you use unsweetened you may want to add some additional honey.
