Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute with plant-based milk. If using goiabada, dust it with flour to prevent sinking. Great served warm or at room temperature. Leftovers can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor!
