Notes

Make sure to really decide on the amount of sugar you want to add.  If you have a sweet tooth, add it all,  It really tastes amazing!  If you want, you can totally dial it back so it is very subtle.

  • Freezer: You can freeze it for up to 2-3 months; just make sure to thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating.
  • Reheating: You can heat it up on the stovetop in a pan by adding a splash of liquid if it looks a little dry. The microwave is all good too.
