# Notes:

01 - For extra crunch, toasted chopped nuts can be added as an additional topping.
02 - For a vegan dessert, use plant-based butter and coconut whipped cream.
03 - Caramel sauce may be substituted for chocolate sauce for a different flavor profile.
04 - Browning the butter before adding sugar and cinnamon enhances the richness.
