Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons
My little sister always makes coconut macaroons whenever she hears the word “potluck.” She’s made them so many times, she can do them in her sleep and has it practically down to a science. So finally one day I pulled

Chocolate Mousse Coffee Cups
A while back I shared a recipe for making chocolate mousse. It was made using raw egg whites, which gave the mousse its light and airy structure. But for some, the idea of having raw eggs can be less than

Melting Chocolate
Here is a little tip for melting chocolate: though using a double boiler is the traditional norm, I find this set-up of using a wider skillet to be easier and more efficient. Let’s break it down shall we? I’ll start

Chocolate Raspberry Ice-cream
When it comes to ice-cream, I am a big fan of minimal, no-frills flavors. Double-Chocolate-Chunk-Caramel-Swirl-Praline-Cookie-Dough? No thank you! Vanilla is actually my preferred ice-cream of choice. Chocolate comes in a close second. There are ways to enhance traditional flavors without

White Chocolate Vanilla Bean Ice-cream
