Guys, are you ready for the most delicious dessert ever?!! I combined two of my favorite recipes for one KILLER dessert!  Did I mention my greatest weakness is sweets?!  I love messing around in the kitchen.  I find it so interesting you can put together a few ingredients together and viola! Something magical.  If chemistry was cooking I would have gotten higher than a C haha.This dessert is gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, and vegan!  I guarantee no one will be able to tell the difference.  Pair it with some Halo Vanilla ice cream and OH.MY.GOSH.  You will love me and hate me because you’ll want to eat the whole thing…you’ve been warned. Hope you love this recipe as much as I do!  They can also be made individually.
