Dairy-Free Swedish Meatballs

Dairy-free Swedish Meatballs

Did you know Swedish Meatballs are actually Turkish? I didn’t until recently! My husband loves this dish, it’s a great comfort food dish for any day of the week! The coconut cream really gives it the desired thickness and creaminess, and you can’t taste the coconut!
