Notes

To make this recipe completely vegan, use vegan chocolate/chocolate chips, plant-based whipped cream and vegan marshmallows(if using). 
Instead of granulated sugar, you can use cane sugar, maple syrup or any other sweetener. Adjust the quantity to suit your needs. 
Replace unsweetened oat milk with plant-based milk or regular milk if desired. If using sweetened oat milk, adjust the sweetener according to your taste.
