If you’re like me, you ended 2019 with some declaration that 2020 was going to be “Amazing!”.

Continuing on with the Thanksgiving theme, I have to move on to this gorgeous, FOOLPROOF(!!) chocolate ganache tart. If you’re looking for something that’s a little bit more of a “classic” Thanksgiving dessert, go check out my dairy-free Pumpkin Cheesecake with a Gingersnap Crust. It takes a little more effort but a crowdpleaser nonetheless. Friendsgiving […]
