Variations & Tips
For a dairy-free version, substitute almond milk or coconut milk for the whole milk and cream. You can also experiment with different flavors by adding a teaspoon of peppermint extract for a minty twist or a dash of cinnamon for a warm spice note. If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the amount of white chocolate chips or use a combination of white and dark chocolate. For an adult version, consider adding a splash of peppermint schnapps or Irish cream liqueur.
