- Look for cocoa powder that is labeled as "Dutch-processed" for a richer flavour.
- For a vegan version of this recipe, substitute the nonfat dry milk powder with almond milk powder and the non-dairy powdered coffee creamer with coconut cream powder.
- Substitute almond milk for the hot milk or water for a dairy-free option. This substitution would benefit those with dairy allergies or sensitivities and would still provide a creamy flavor.
- Substitute coconut sugar for the confectioners' sugar for a healthier alternative. This substitution would benefit those who are looking for a more natural sweetener with a lower glycemic index.
