Customization & Serving

Feel free to adjust the sweetness; maple syrup can be used as a direct swap for raw honey to ensure the recipe remains strictly vegan. If pecans aren't your preference, other chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds would also be excellent, or you could focus on just shredded coconut for a slightly different texture. For an extra festive touch, consider a sprinkle of fine Himalayan salt on top before chilling.
