Notes: This is so great!!! I wouldn’t change a thing to this dish! I cant believe I didn’t think of this sooner. It is killer. The brown sugar tops it off. The coconut milk is a great touch, but you can use regular if you don’t have any. I shared this with the roomies, who all loved it, and saved myself a bowl. I even thought of maybe putting a little coconut in the sugar to toast it too. Try it out, this is really great!!! A 5!!!
