📋 Substitutions & variations
- Feel free to use any type of milk. However, I like to use milkwith high-fat content, like coconut milkor any kind of nut milk.
- Full-fat canned coconut milk can be too high in fat for this recipe, homemade coconut milk or reduced-fat coconut milk are better choices.
- I like to use unsweetened milk and then the sweetener, but feel free to use milk that is already sweetened. In that case, you may want to omit or reduce the amount of sweetener.
- Maple or agave syrup is my sweetener of choice for this recipe, but pretty much any sweetener is okay.
- Make it sugar-free by omitting the sweetener and also by using unsweetened non-dairy milk.
- Make it more fun by adding your favorite ingredients or toppings like cocoa powder, matcha powder, nut butter, fresh fruit, dried fruit, spices, or whatever you want!
