3. Add the vanilla extract and ground nutmeg, stirring gently to combine.

Variations & Tips
For a tropical twist, add a splash of mango or passion fruit juice. If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle a little cinnamon on top along with the nutmeg. For an adult version, consider adding a splash of rum or coconut liqueur. You can also experiment with different flavors of ice cream, like coconut or eggnog, to switch things up.
