Ingredient Substitutions
Whipped topping can be replaced with coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative. Refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight, then scoop out the solidified cream and whip it. This substitution offers a similar texture and adds a subtle coconut flavor. Marshmallow creme can be substituted with melted marshmallows mixed with a bit of corn syrup for a similar consistency. For a vegan option, use aquafaba (chickpea liquid) whipped with sugar as a marshmallow creme alternative. Hot chocolate powder can be replaced with a mixture of unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar to control sweetness and avoid artificial additives. Adjust the ratio to taste, typically using 2 parts sugar to 1 part cocoa powder.
