Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using full-fat evaporated milk. If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, opt for dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. You can also substitute the nuts with toasted almonds or omit them altogether if there are allergies. If you want to add a fruity twist, consider layering in some sliced bananas or strawberries before freezing.
