Questions

What can I use instead of pandan in Che Thai?

The entry for Che Thai calls for 1 cup pandan jelly, diced. In its place: A little vanilla extract fills the same aromatic role, though the flavor is different.

Can I make Che Thai dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Che Thai is 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk. Swap the sweetened condensed milk for a plant-based version of the same product. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Is Che Thai vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan dessert collection.
