This doesn’t really need any introduction, but I might as well talk it up a bit!

We wanted to prepare a raw food dessert for our friends and this recipe for raw banana ice cream with chocolate syrup and cashew whipped cream was top on the list.

You’ll even get to see us serve this raw dessert to our friends and get their approval rating.

Let them tell you it’s the real deal…

Your question of the day: Do you like Annmarie’s or my introduction better? (You can be honest! We don’t mind!)
