Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of pudding mix?
Yes, you can substitute the instant pudding with any flavor you prefer, like vanilla or caramel. Just keep in mind that the flavor of the syrup will change accordingly, so choose a flavor that complements your dessert.
Is it possible to make this syrup dairy-free?
Absolutely! To make a dairy-free version, use a non-dairy milk such as almond or coconut milk in place of the evaporated milk. Pairing it with vegan ice cream will ensure the entire dessert remains dairy-free.
How do I thicken the syrup if it's too thin?
If your syrup is too thin for your liking, you can simmer it on low heat in a saucepan for a few minutes to reduce and thicken it. Just keep an eye on it to prevent burning, and stir frequently for even thickening.
