Notes
Whisk continuously: Creaminess is the goal here, so keep whisking to remove any clumps and make it as smooth as possible.
Taste and adjust: Want it sweeter? Add more maple syrup. Love spice? Be generous with the spices. For me, this recipe is perfect as-is, but adjust to your preference!
Add a pinch of salt: Just a small pinch of salt enhances the flavors.
Don’t let it boil: Keep the heat on low to medium so it doesn’t boil!
