TIPS AND TWEAKS
Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 5 days.
Best served warm, with a homemade chocolate frosting or sauce, with a big scoop of your favourite ice cream. I served this with cookies and cream coconut ice cream by Over The Moo, and it went down a treat!
Although I haven’t tried to (they haven’t lasted long enough), these should be able to freeze well for up to a month.
You could try any mix ins your heart desires! I’ve tried this with roasted almonds, which gave it a rich, nutty flavour and a lovely crunch.
