Recipe Notes

This recipe is gluten free as written. If you are not gluten free, use any vanilla wafers you like.

If you want a completely dairy free recipe, use carob chips or non-dairy chocolate. 

You can find non-dairy whipped topping in most grocery stores. You could also use the remaining coconut cream as a topping. Using a hand mixer, whip coconut cream with powdered sugar until desired thickness forms. 

I used 4 oz. mason jars but you could also use ramekins.
