Flame away at me, folks.
I just made this tonight and it was a huge hit! It is so rich and creamy and chocolatey … oh my! The spices are perfect. Thanks you so much for sharing this amazing recipe!
Yay!! Glad you loved it.
Can I use coconut cream instead of full-fat coconut milk? How would that change the recipe?
I can’t wait to make this and bring it in a thermos for our annual family Christmas Tree Hunt! I’ll keep the thermos just as is but maybe have a shot of bourbon for the adults to add!
Family Christmas Tree Hunt! That sounds so fun and so does the bourbon shot 😀
I hate to comment with this but just want to give you a heads up in case you get any internet trolls! This post discusses 2019 goal setting. While I don’t doubt that you are WAY ahead of the rest of them, I am inclined to believe you meant 2018? 🙂
LOL. You know, we’re trying to goal set at LEAST a year out 😛
YUM! It looks simply delicious and perfect for Christmas ♥
XOXOXOX
This is amazing! I tried it this evening after I saw your IG post, and I am in love. I will be making it LOTS for family during the holidays!
YES! It’s so delicious!
