Hi.

I’m Brittany! I can be found hitting the trail with my two favorite girls (Kona and Mako, my Springers), and having movie night with my husband. I go to sleep ridiculously early, and I love to cook. Traveling and sunshine make me one happy lady!

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Tart

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Tart

Would you believe me if I said this recipe was gluten free, refined sugar free, dairy free and vegan? This is so decadent and rich. This recipe looks and tastes like you slaved in the kitchen for hours, thank goodness that isn’t the case! The crust is of the no-bake variety and the mousse takes 10 minutes to cook and 4-6 hours to set in the fridge. This would a great dessert pairing for Thanksgiving, Christmas and holiday parties in general.
