Cream of Coconut: Cream of Coconut works well as a sweetened condensed milk alternative, and can offer a wonderful tropical flavor to your desserts. Substitute it for sweetened condensed milk using a 1:1 ratio. Do not confuse this with Coconut Cream, Cream of Coconut is much sweeter, and sold in separate cans. Look for brands such as Coco Lopez, Roland, Coco Real, or Goya.
You can also use this recipe with nondairy milks, however they will not curdle and thicken in the same way that dairy milks will, though they will still work in a recipe. The second option to substitute for buttermilk is to whisk together 1/2 cup of yogurt or sour cream with 1/2 cup of milk. If you only have Greek-style yogurt on hand, use 1/3 cup yogurt and 2/3 cup milk. This mixture may be slightly thicker than store bought buttermilk, but it has good acidity and a very similar flavor to buttermilk for baking.
