❓ FAQs
1. Can I use milk instead of cream?
Yes, but the sauce will be slightly thinner and less rich.
2. How can I make it dairy-free?
Use coconut milk and vegan butter for a dairy-free version.
3. Why did my sauce turn grainy?
This can happen if the sugar crystallizes — keep stirring and avoid high heat.
