Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of Eagle Brand?
Yes, you can use sweetened condensed milk from other brands if you can't find Eagle Brand. However, make sure it's sweetened condensed milk, as evaporated milk will not provide the same sweetness and texture.
What can I use instead of graham cracker crumbs?
If you don't have graham cracker crumbs, you can use crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafer cookies as a substitute. Both will provide a similar texture and flavor, making them suitable alternatives for this recipe.
Can I make these cookies without coconut?
Absolutely! If you're not a fan of coconut, you can simply omit it from the recipe. You could also replace it with additional chocolate chips or another layer of nuts for added texture and flavor.
