My new Chocolate Syrup Recipe

I am proud to present:

Cocoa Honey Ice Cream Topping

1  1/2 cups water
1 cup cocoa
1/2 cup honey (or more, to taste)

Combine in a small sauce pan and cook and stir over medium heat until
you have a fragrant chocolatey yummy liquid .If you stop stirring (spoon or whisk..but whisk is better), it may burn on the bottom. Then turn the heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until it comes to a more syrupy consistency. Then take off heat, cool it off for a few minutes and add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir and pour into glass jar (A mason jar is best...these do not break if your pour really hot liquid into them. If you have a regular glass jar, then cool off the syrup until it is merely warm.)

Use as topping for ice cream or stir into milk for chocolate milk...or hot chocolate. 

Why I like this recipe: It is way more healthy than our traditional Decadent Fudge Sauce. It is much more economical to make, too!

Mousse Made with Coconut Milk

Mousse Made With Coconut Milk
Amy found this recipe and tried it this morning. Very yummy! She is avoiding dairy, so this creamy non dairy dessert is perfect!
 1. Obtain 13.6 oz can of Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk. It HAS to be Thai Kitchen. Open the can and discard the lid. Place in refrigerator over night. (Not freezer, just refrigerator.)

 2. In the morning, scoop out contents of can into bowl. Add 1/4 cup cocoa and 1 or 2 packets Truvia. Each packet has 1 teaspoon. Or use stevia product of your choice, to taste. Stir until well combined.

3. Serve.
