  7. Decorate: Gently place white edible pearls on top for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • For an extra wedding-worthy look, use silver or gold pearls or add a light dusting of edible glitter.
  • Swap vanilla for almond extract for a more delicate flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
