Hi Julia-Rose,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to check what you mean by 'liquid vanilla' in this recipe. I am imagining you must mean natural vanilla extract, except that 1/4 cup is sooooo much, and I never use more than a tsp or two of that stuff in most recipes. Not to mention a full bottle doesnt even contain 1/4 cup!
Could you shed a bit of light on what you use in this recipe?
thanks,
Tamara
I think that's a typo... Contact Julia using the above Contact Me button :)
DeleteHi ! Use 1 tbsp of natural vanilla extract
ReplyDeleteAnd if your using normal vanilla essence then use 1 and 1/4 Tbsp
Yes major typo!
Hi Julia, please ditch agave. Even the most organic agave interferes with blood viscosity, and has been at some point, chemically processed.

DeleteThanks Kelly I personally use raw honey but I know vegans dot eat honey hence the agave- it can be replaced with maple syrup , coconut sugar, honey anything you like really ;)
DeleteHey Julia! I absolutely love your desserts but couldn't find any cacao butter in my grocery stores (checked mostly main stream ones, I don't have any way of transportation other than the bus or bike so it's difficult to keep searching) Is there anything I can replace this with?
