    Dairy-free arroz con leche. Follow your usual recipe and substitute the dairy products for non-dairy. Still very yummy!

    Hi Laura! I love your recipes. I am super excited to try this one, but has anyone tried (or have you tried) the ranch recipe with coconut milk?

      Hi Bertie! Yes, I have. I’ve tried it with canned coconut milk and the flavor is a bit overpowering plus it’s too thick for this recipe. I’ve used Silk’s unsweetened coconut milk and So Delicious coconut milk with a lot of success. Flavor is very mild and not overpowering at all. Enjoy!
