  • For a richer sauce, you can use heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can add more cornstarch. Just be sure to whisk it into the sauce until it's completely dissolved before bringing it to a boil.
  • To make a sugar-free sauce, you can use a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol. Just be sure to taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
