Absolutely! We have not tried it in the Test Kitchen, but it should taste great with that substitution. Good luck!

This recipe has a ton of options! You can add extracts, nuts, coconut and/or use different fruits and pudding flavors to change up the tropical flavors. Yum!

I am going to make this, and I think I might add a little orange extract. This will add a little more tropical flavor to it....or at least I hope so.
