I did this fully by the description but it would not thicken and is very watery. Any suggestions?
I would double check the amount of tapioca and if it’s still not using email into service@modernistpantry.com

Is there another oil to use instead of coconut oil with its high saturated fat content?
No, coconut oil has unique properties that are not found in other oils. If you sub in other oils you would just get an oily goop.
Is there anything we can sub for the soy milk powder?
Not with this recipe
