Tips & Substitutions

This dish is also reminiscent of Nanny'S Rice Pudding, making it a comforting option for family gatherings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of nut instead of almonds?
Absolutely! You can use walnuts or pecans as a substitute for slivered almonds, adding a different flavor profile. Just make sure to chop them finely if you prefer a similar texture.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond milk or coconut milk. You can also use a non-dairy butter alternative. The flavor will be slightly different, but it will still be delicious!
Is it necessary to add bourbon?
While bourbon adds a rich depth of flavor, it's not necessary for the dish. If you prefer to omit it, you can either leave it out or replace it with a splash of apple cider or a teaspoon of vanilla for added sweetness.
