You’ll be able to infuse the cream with cardamom, cinnamon sticks, add a shot of espresso and even some alcohol to the ultimate unfold. Let your creativeness run wild, additionally you may select how thick or skinny your unfold is, simply alter the quantity of chocolate or liquid you add subsequent time.
