Notes
This tastes just like pumpkin pie! If you're not a fan of coconut, I promise, you'll hardly even notice a very mild coconut flavor. Natural coconut butter is super easy to make cost less than $5 a jar instead of $14 tomake your own. Have fun with decorating with chocolate magic shell or plain.
These should be refrigerated all the time and left overs can be frozen.
