I loooooove sweet things and many times gravitate toward dessert first to determine my main when I go out to eat. If dessert is good, I shall eat a light meal, mostly salad and top it off with dessert, hehe.

Anyway, went grocery shopping yesterday and it took a lot for me to not get dessert. Walked by the chocolate sauces but the ingredients I couldn’t pronounce and shelf life turned me away. Picked up pure untainted Ghana made cocoa instead. Unfortunately, was on the bottom shelf below all the imported ones who probably bought cocoa here for next to nothing, took it “West” processed and tainted it with whatever, packaged and branded it nicely only for us to import it back and pay premium – I digress.

Fact is many times we don’t know what’s been put in the already made food we buy, in grocery shops and restaurants. And for desserts, gelatin is in many including the beloved ice cream – trust me you don’t want gelatin. This is why I strive to make my own food, although leading a single life outside of my beautiful Rwanda has made Jumia a constant part of life, and this may well change after my successfully delicious experiment today. aided by Auntie google.

Thanks to auntie google, got a simple recipe and gave it my own touch. Almond milk in place of water, brown sugar, 100% untainted Ghana Cocoa, a pinch of sea salt and my favorite spice mix courtesy of the best love of my life, made the most delicious chocolate sauce I’ve ever had. Dessert breakfast was heaven in my mouth.

My love for the kitchen is back, hope you too can enjoy more homemade goodness.
