For those looking to switch things up, feel free to use almond milk or coconut milk instead of regular milk for a dairy-free version. Additionally, if you’re concerned about allergies, make sure to check labels when using margarine instead of butter. Quality ingredients really shine through in the recipe, so opting for pure vanilla extract over imitation can make a noticeable difference in flavor.
