My sister is so awesome!! She makes me sign on to pinterest, look at delicious foods and then she makes whatever it was she had pinned AND THEN BRAGS ABOUT HOW GOOD IT IS! I mean, seriously sister .. stop! Because it makes me want to make it, too.

..and that is exactly what I did today..

..and I'm now cursing you with the urge to make this paleo dessert! HA! Sucks to be you ;) Kidding.

*A word of caution: Coconut milk is a wonderful fat that should be used as often as possible, but be careful not to over-indulge as too much fat could cause an upset tummy! I think more than 1/2 cup would be too much. This is so rich that you may not even want to eat that much.

Ingredients:

1 can coconut milk, full-fat, unsweetened

1/4cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2tsp vanilla

sweetener to taste, I used a little bit of honey. My sister used maple syrup.

Directions:

Refrigerate a can of coconut milk overnight, or at least 6 hours. Don’t shake the can before opening. It should get very, very thick. If it doesn’t, you’ve gotten a bad can that won’t work for the recipe. I used Thai Kitchen Organic. Once thick, transfer to a bowl. You can opt to leave out the watery bit at the bottom of the can, if you want it even thicker and whip in your cocoa, vanilla, and sweetener with a fork, or even beaters if you want to be fancy. Stored uncovered in the fridge, the mixture gets even thicker.

(I edited the authors directions a bit. Find the original recipe here and tell her thank you while you're on her page!)
