For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the milk mixture. If you don't have hot fudge sauce, maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar also work well. Make sure to use good quality bread that can hold its shape when soaked in the milk mixture. The cream cheese can be substituted with mascarpone for a richer flavor profile.
