Notes
Can also use Maple Cinnamon Ghee.
Super delicious made with fresh strawberries or peaches (peeled), or a mix of berries. Top with whip cream if you desire but this dessert stands well all on its own!
Serves 8 generously!
A best kept secret is to invest in a small nutmeg grinder. Nothing beats freshly grated nutmeg from the pod. 🙂
