We all know by now that I’m a sucker for dessert. I love baking and feel most creative when I’m developing a dessert recipe. I guess you can say I’m passionate about baking. Since I could eat dessert multiple times a day I wanted to create a recipe that felt indulgent but didn’t make me feel lethargic from the impending sugar high that always follows a sweet treat.
