Lime Vegan Tart

ABOUT COCONUT CREAM Coconut cream is a good thing to keep in the kitchen cupboard especially if you’re looking for dairy-free alternatives when baking. Granted, it’s high in fat and contains a fair amount of saturated fat, but it’s also a good source of potassium. Coconut cream is not the same either as cream of coconut (which is sweetened) or as coconut milk, which is thinner and less fattening. It is made by skimming the layer of fat that rises to the top of coconut milk.
