Notes
Substitute Tips – For a quick coconut cream substitute, use Greek yogurt or non-dairy Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla). If your yogurt is thin, you can sprinkle in about ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum while blending to help thicken it up until it’s scoopable.
Protein Boost- For extra protein, swap the powdered sugar with 2 tbsp or 30 grams of vanilla protein powder (plant-based works best for texture). Or, if you can tolerate dairy, check out our cottage cheese protein pumpkin dip.
Sugar Substitute- Use coconut sugar for powdered sugar in the dip.
