Oh my, did I struggle with what to name this recipe.
It’s thicker than a pudding, creamier than a mousse, and less gelatinous than a custard.
So I went with pot de creme, which Wikipedia says means, “‘pot of custard’ or ‘pot of cream’, which also refers to the porcelain cups in which the dessert is served.”
Technically, I served this recipe in some jars. But “jars de creme” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, you know?

And there’s one thing that can warm me up from the tip of my toes to the tip of my nose –– a Ginger Latte.

These past few years have been… a lot. But I’m feeling hopeful for this new year.
I set some goals for myself (I do better with goals than with resolutions, which always seem so much more intense), and I’m really excited to pursue them.
Amongst the goals I set for myself, one was wanting to make an effort to try new dinner recipes this year. I get in dinner ruts a lot, and during those ruts, I tend to default to staples like rice, tofu/beans, and some sort of veggie.

So! In an effort to be more creative in the kitchen, I created THIS. And I don’t really know what to say about it other than it’s really really good.

It’s also an extra special day because… it’s also Fooduzzi’s birthday!
Yep. Seven (seven!!) years ago today, baby Alexa was pressing publish on her very first blog post and making her readers feel like they were truly immersed in a bowl of oatmeal with her lack of photography skills.
And each year since then on December 18, we celebrate in the best way I know how: with peanut butter and chocolate.
Read MoreIt’s that time of year again! Aka the time of year when I gush about all of the fantastic books I read throughout the year. And oh boy howdy, were there a lot in 2021.

To be quite honest with you, I’m in full-blown Christmas mode now. I’m just so incredibly excited for all the happy, warm, cozy vibes that the holiday season brings each year.
And there’s nothing more Christmas-y in my mind than the peppermint mocha.
