Yes, you can omit the cream for a lighter version, but the texture will be thinner and less dessert-like. Half-and-half or heavy cream also work as substitutes.
The recipe calls for white (clear) creme de cacao, which has a lighter color and slightly different flavor than dark creme de cacao. Do not substitute without adjusting to taste.
Serve it straight up in a coupe or cocktail glass over ice, or as a shooter. Chilling the glass beforehand improves the drinking experience.
Mix the creme de cacao and banana liqueur ahead, but add cream and ice just before serving to prevent separation and maintain texture.
It tastes like a creamy, vanilla-forward dessert drink with subtle banana undertones—similar to a liquid candy or dessert in cocktail form.
