Notes
Substitutions Ideas:
For a lower-fat version: substitute skim milk for whole milk and use a fat-free version of sweetened condensed milk.
Strongly brewed coffee or espresso can be used instead of powdered espresso. Cool before adding to the other ingredients.
Swap pumpkin butter for pumpkin puree. Do not add the spices or condensed milk if using pumpkin butter.
