I believe the person you are talking about is
Ariene Arsenault. She is wonderful to watch and provides some great info! She has many YouTube videos.

I agree. She's creative and inspirational. Here's a link to her videos...

My friend in Norway says she can get Viking Tørrmelk, can you not get it in your area?

Your friend is not wrong, I thought about it right away, but it’s out of production so it’s all sold out where I live. My husband found a similar product in a foreign shop, so it’s all well here

Just be careful with your coconut milk too, as it often contains different additives that you may not want - check the label.
@shunt2011 do you find that the additives - emulsifiers and/or stabilisers and preservatives in the coconut milk affect the soaping process in any way?

Nope, never had an issue. I use canned coconut milk in the majority of my recipes and never had an issue. I've used several different brands and they all turn out great.
