💡 Tips & Variations

• Gluten-free option: Use certified gluten-free products (flour) and double-check the labels
• Non-dairy: Try lactose-free ice cream, lactose-free butter
• Ingredients: I like to use organic, heirloom, or open-pollinated fresh fruit whenever possible. When it comes to sugar, I avoid white granulated sugar and substitute it with raw honey, brown sugar, coconut sugar, or any other natural option.
• Meal prep: Assemble ahead and refrigerate or freeze up to 24 hours before baking.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Serve hot with your choice of sides: Vanilla bean ice cream, berries, pecans, walnuts, lemon sorbet, and a light, refreshing beverage.

❄️ Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Can be stored in the freezer. Reheat in the oven at 325°F until it smells irresistible, about 20 minutes. You’ll have time to set the table, light some candles, and don’t forget your favorite chill music.
