Questions

Can I make Che Thai dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry 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.

How long does Che Thai keep?

Keep it covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days.

Can I halve or double Che Thai?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
