I’ll admit, I was totally skeptical about this recipe when I first saw it. There’s a secret ingredient in this chocolate banana ice cream that you don’t typically think of when you are making a dessert. Avocado! Seriously! But I tried it. And I’m SO glad I did. Not only is it delicious and […]
This, to me and especially my kids, IS like MAGIC! How very cool to watch it go from runny to a crisp, chocolate shell when poured over ice cream. Only two ingredients – chocolate and coconut oil. Which, if you are like our house, we are never without coconut oil. It has pretty much become […]
