Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes. Use dairy-free white chocolate and oat milk. Oat milk froths very well and has a natural sweetness that complements white chocolate.
What if I do not have white chocolate?
Use 2 tsp sweetened condensed milk instead for a similar creamy sweetness.
