Serve it as a decadent breakfast centerpiece or a comforting dessert. Pair with fresh fruit for balance, or go all out with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. A steaming cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or even spiced tea makes the perfect companion. For brunch, round out the spread with something savory like scrambled eggs or a vegetable frittata.
