Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure your dry milk is well chilled before whipping. If you prefer a sweeter topping, consider using a flavored sugar substitute, as it can enhance the overall taste without adding calories. You can also experiment with different extracts, such as almond or coconut, for a unique flavor twist. For a dairy-free option, try using coconut cream instead of the whipped milk.
