Tips:

• For a tropical twist, you can add shredded coconut or use coconut ice cream instead of vanilla.
• For a bit of crunch, you can sprinkle some chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top.
• To make homemade whipped cream, beat 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
