Why is whipped cream not an option here? That and some almond extract, maybe some orange or pineapple juice, you're off to the races.

Whipped cream is an option too! Was curious about people’s favorite combo and the recipes online don’t seem to converge on one. Judging by the handful of responses maybe there’s no majority consensus. I imagine the whipped cream version would taste similar to the heavy cream version but a fluffier texture if you whip it first? I’ll have to experiment with a bit of fruit juice!
