Tips
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free whipped cream.
- If you don't have vanilla syrup, you can make a simple syrup with sugar and vanilla extract. Simply heat equal parts sugar and water until the sugar dissolves, then add a few drops of vanilla extract.
- For an added touch of luxury, drizzle some caramel sauce over the whipped cream before adding the almond slices.
