Testing Elasticache and Serverless AWS Lambda locally

I'm using serverless to create a lambda function using the nodejs template.

1. To connect to my Elasticache Redis I setup a VPC and added the Security Group and Subnet Ids, as well as the region to my lambda serverless.yml.
2. I deployed it and confirmed I could set and get a key from Redis.

When I try to serverless invoke local -f functionName, it always times out, so I have to deploy it to test it.

Is it possible to test this out locally with serverless?
