FAQs

Can I use regular milk instead of white chocolate?

Regular milk cannot replace white chocolate as it provides the creamy base, while the white chocolate adds sweetness and flavor. Both are needed for this recipe.

What can I use if I don’t have vanilla extract?

If you don’t have vanilla extract or bean paste, you can omit it or substitute with a small pinch of vanilla sugar or a drop of almond extract for a different flavor note.
