Do you think I could freeze part to save until Xmas?
Hey Laura! We have a ton leftover too! You could probably freeze it but I’m not sure it will taste nearly as yummy as it does fresh!
Is there something I can use in place of the macadamia nuts? Thanks!
Hi Allison, Good question! We haven’t tried it but we believe cashews would be a good substitute for macadamia nuts in this recipe since they can have a creamy consistency as well. If you try it, let us know what you think. XO, Jo & Jules
