For an extra touch of elegance, consider using a pastry bag to pipe decorative swirls of whipped cream on top of the cooled Melktert. Melktert can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Allow it to cool completely before refrigerating. A sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg can be used in place of cinnamon, or along with cinnamon sugar, for a warm, aromatic twist.
