About

No recipe book of mine would come to life without a version of this recipe! I find great pleasure in making adaptogen-laced chocolate that supports how I want to feel on any given week. A version of this recipe appeared in my first book Mind Food and this new recipe has become a staple in my weekly routine and in my dessert recipes. The joy of it is how adaptable it can be as a snack, as an accent on a dessert, or even as a layer within one.
