Additional Notes/Tips

  1. Feel free to swap the whipped cream with Greek yogurt for a slightly lighter version.
  2. You can add raisins or dried cranberries for a chewy texture that complements the crunch of the nuts.
  3. To enhance the flavor, drizzle some extra caramel sauce on top before serving.
  4. Make it more decadent by adding mini chocolate chips or marshmallows.
  5. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container—if there are any.
  6. Don’t want to make it too sweet? Cut down the caramel sauce or use a sugar-free alternative.
