Notes
- To make the recipe for a larger crowd, simply double or triple the ingredients as needed. The cooking time may need to be increased slightly.
- To make a vegan version, substitute dairy milk with plant-based milk, and use a non-dairy whipped cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Gently reheat over low heat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
