Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge if you make extra for later.
  • For extra creaminess, increase the milk slightly.
  • Mix and match sweeteners; erythritol or stevia work well.
  • A tablespoon of nut butter can add flavor and creaminess.
Experiment with spices like ginger or nutmeg for additional flavor.
