Hot Chocolate Float – did you see it?

This combo of cinnamon ice cream submerged in hot chocolate and topped with whipped cream is sensational.

I didn’t know what to call it, so I tried to find it online, but couldn’t.

Previously, I made a video with ube ice cream and coffee. This resembled an affogato, a popular dessert consisting of “a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso.”

Affogato translates to “drowned” in Italian

Should I have called this an affogato too?

Then I compared this drink to a root beer float made of “just two ingredients: root beer, and ice cream.”

And that’s when I saw it!

After pouring the hot chocolate on top of the ice cream, the ice cream scoop floated to the top!

Try it for yourself. This is a delicious combination.

Ube Rice Krispie Treats

Another Gluten Free Dessert!

I don’t make Rice Krispie Treats often, but whenever I do, I’m reminded of how delicious they are despite their simplicity. They’re not fancy, but they taste amazing!

The addition of 1 tsp. of Ube flavoring turns this dessert into something SENSATIONAL.

The added flavor is subtle, with notes of coconut and vanilla.

But the strong purple color is super fun and great for holidays like Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras, Easter, and Halloween.

Unlike food coloring, the liquid Ube didn’t stain my hands.

It’s heart-shaped, purple, and chocolate-dipped …great for Valentine’s Day!

The blueberries gave this dessert its deep purple color, no artificial dye was needed.

Minimal ingredients are required and no baking is required.

If you are a fan of coconut, like me, try this recipe.
