• *TIPS*
• This is the first time I use coconut flour as a thickener and it worked amazingly well!
• to though it is a small amount, it is enough to thicken the sauce properly.
• You can not taste the coconut at all in the recipe.
• Coconut flour is not induction friendly so perhaps you could leave it out or use a thickener like guar or xantham gum, or even half an ounce of cream cheese.
