Heavy-bottomed saucepan and immersion blender or hand mixer.
Different brands tend to vary in strength and concentration. Start with a small amount and add more if you want more of the flavor. Just make sure and read ingredients and avoid sugar!
Thanks for yet another wonderful recipe.
The coconut taste may come through, but in general coconut cream can work as a sub for heavy cream.
