Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Customize toppings with chocolate chips or dried fruits.
  • Adjust consistency with a splash more milk if too dry, or more coconut if too wet.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond milk or coconut milk.
  • Sweetened coconut can be used, but it will increase the overall sweetness.
  • Sunflower seed butter or almond butter can be used as a substitute for peanut butter.
