Notes
Notes about using coconut milk:
Know that there will be a slight coconut taste. If you're ok with that, then proceed. I did this, and I really enjoyed it!
I recommend using canned coconut milk. If you do, I recommend placing the can in the fridge overnight. If you use the solid stuff at the top, your queso will be super thick and creamy.
