Recipe notes
My favorite part about this dessert is how many versions you can make of it. Here are some simple swaps to try:
- maple syrup for honey
- balsamic vinegar for orange juice
- almonds, walnuts, or pecans for hazelnuts
- add or subtract any spices for the flavor profile you are craving
For serving, I recommend adding a dollop of frozen coconut cream to imitate whipped or ice cream.
