It all started with my recent recipe success - making the absolute best (& healthiest) Key Lime Pie, which happens to be Dear Hubby's favorite dessert. If I could create an almost identical taste and experience to an all-time favorite, but with 70% less sugar using banana and squash puree & greek yogurt, then I could do anything! And, for the first time since I started blogging (over a year ago) Dear Hubby put in a recipe request this past weekend. All else was stalled until I perfected the "chocolate torte"...for my love. ♥ It was a sacrifice, but I made it happen...lol.
My loves:
THE #1 reason we moved to the mountains was so we could go hiking, fly-fishing, and exploring just minutes from our house on a whim...like today's snow hike. Awwww, they're so cute :)
But, back to chocolate...
Warm, chocolate decadence, drizzled with a special sauce made of melted dark cocoa chips and almond milk.
Speaking of almond milk...my lovely fans/readers suggested I make my own in a long discussion on Facebook. So, make my own I shall. I just ordered a "nut milk bag" and a glass storage bottle, and will perfect my method and ingredient combination in the coming week(s) --- and will let you know how it goes :) Thanks for being awesome and helping me be my best self!
