During the fourth step, after the dessert has enough layers, it is good to sprinkle cocoa powder on top as a garnish and decoration. This edible decoration is delicious and adds a splash of color on top of the creamy tan dessert. You can also sprinkly cinnamon on top and in between the layers. It is up to your preference.

Step 5: Eat, Enjoy, and Store
