Dairy Free Chocolate Mousse
Posted on June 7, 2011
This high protein, dairy free Chocolate Mousse is made with anti-oxidant rich dark chocolate and contains no dairy products –a double win. I’ve also used coconut palm sugar rather than agave to sweeten it. Many people do not like agave nectar, believing it is an overly processed sweetener (the I use is pure and organic).

Silvana’s Mousse Cloud Pie
Posted on April 21, 2011
I met Silvana last year at Blogher Food and felt an instant connection with her.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge
Posted on April 14, 2011
I love fudge, I do. The only trouble with it is that most fudge is so sweet I usually feel sick to my stomach after eating it. Needless to say, it’s been years, maybe even decades, since I’ve had fudge. However, when I stumbled across this recipe for Peanut Butter Fudge by Laura Dolson, I
