Cacao(nut) Euphoria

Jealousy is the mother of invention.

All I hear is Cacao Bliss this, and Cacao Bliss that. I haven?t seen it in any local health food or grocery stores, so in a state of frustration I decided to rebel and invent my own.

I bought a can of coconut milk last week and I was surprised when I opened it to see how much solid coconut ?cream? was on top.

This had never happened to me before, so I wondered what was different. My reasoning:

1. It?s not light coconut milk

2. It?s winter

The cream was solidified to a butter-like texture in my 62* house. To simulate this, put your can in the refrigerator for a day before you proceed to make Cacao(nut) Euphoria.

Cacao Euphoria came out so good! This would make a delicious cake frosting, mousse, or truffle filling. My family had no idea it was vegan!

And I would be lying if I said I didn?t type in ?bliss? to thesaurus.com and pick the first synonym.

(Actually the first was ecstasy and I thought that may be too risk-ay of a title for a blog written by a high school student. Just a little.)

On to the recipe!!

Cacao Euphoria

With a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the cream, cocoa, salt, vanilla and agave. Mix for two minutes until light and fluffy.

Slather on everything you eat.

*To find coconut cream, open a can of cold, regular coconut milk. The solid top layer is the cream.

**Substitute 2 packets of NuNatural?s stevia, if desired.

Right after I finished typing this post up, guess who rang my doorbell?

Thank you Tristan!!

It will be interesting to see how they compare!

What?s your favorite store-bought food to re-create?

The ice fairy is supposed to make a visit tonight, but I doubt school will be canceled. I can hope though!

Perfect fuel after prom-dress shopping

I like the red, I dislike the dress. Sigh!!

P.S. I never take mirror photos of myself, but I snapped a few dress shopping for comparative purposes.

Want more humnut pizza??
