Notes

- Not Vegan? Use dairy milk or heavy cream instead of plant-based milk.

- Gluten-free? Stick with a certified gluten-free milk choice and you're all set! As always, double-check all ingredients as brands do vary.

*A note about granulated sugar: Not all granulated sugar is vegan. Make sure to choose a USDA Organic variety (or variety otherwise noted to be vegan) to ensure it is not processed with bone char, an animal ingredient.

**Please note: The nutritional information provided for each recipe is an estimate and may vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods. For accurate nutritional details, consider consulting a registered dietitian or using a trusted nutritional calculator.
