Cacao, hazelnut, coconut and vanilla? We nod our heads in approval to that! This recipe is suited for those who love to bake but don’t like fiddly things. Or those who don’t like to bake but still want something deliciously indulgent.
We think this pairs perfectly with a cup of herbal tea or a warming mug of steaming cocoa.
