- Experiment with additional flavor enhancers like peppermint extract, cinnamon, or a splash of liqueur to create unique variations that suit different tastes and occasions.
- For a lighter version, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk, and use a low-fat whipped cream alternative to reduce overall calories while maintaining delicious taste.
