Isn’t this recipe so naughty? I love being naughty. Even if it means people are going to yell at me because of it. Life is better lived on the naughty side.
Speaking of naughty food, I ate really good food the other night. I wish I had pictures to prove this is true, but the mood lighting ruined it. So if you haven’t heard about 5280 Restaurant Week in CO, you’ve been missing out. It’s when all these restaurants let you eat at their place for $52.80 per couple. Which isn’t too bad when you’re getting to eat at restaurants where the entree is over $52.80. So Laura and I booked a double date at Prime Steakhouse and ate up. Want to hear what I ate? Sure you do, because it was delicious.
First: Started with a glass of Clos du Bois chardonnay. No clue if I’m spelling that right. Nor do I care.
Second: Had a blue cheese and bacon wedge salad. The boyfriend was having a lobster bisque which he kindly gave me his leftovers (he knew I was eyeing it the entire time).
Third: Had the Surf and Turf. Oh yes I did. Lobster tail with a filet mignon along side asparagus and bomb mashed potatoes.
Fourth: Another glass of chardonnay. Oops.
Fifth: Flourless chocolate cake. Pretty stupid good.
Surprisingly, I really didn’t feel sick at all from it. Or overly full. Or fat. Pretty awesome.
The next restaurant Laura booked is Vesta Dipping Grill, which is where we are going tonight, along with Sergio. It’s a place where you dip all of your food in something. I love that idea. Every food should come with some kind of dipping sauce.
Laura sent me this recipe the other day. I want to live in that basket. Seriously. I’m totally making these asap.

OMG this looks so good. I’m making a special trip to the store to buy myself a can of coconut milk. Very exciting.
Juli,
My husband and I this recipe last night (followed directions to the T) and let them set overnight and they are still totally liquid—did not set at all ;(
I am only one month into Paleo and wondering since I used “coconut milk beverage” out of the large box from earth fare could this be the mistake? We have placed them in the freezer and hoping they set up. Any suggestions on what else to do? Should I pull them from freezer and add the pumpkin purée to help set up? Although, I tried a bite and it is delicious—especially the crust— just is consistency of water. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
yes, you definitely want to use canned coconut milk, not the beverage. the beverage does not include the coconut cream which will help it harden
I’m going to cheat and put the coconut milk in the freezer for an hour then in the fridge because I have people coming over tonight for dinner, and these will be perfect. Thank you so much for the recipe!!!
Argh! Just as I’ve committed to another sugar detox!
You, temptress you!
Look divine.
OMG…… Easy to make, and sounds like it taste like heaven! What’s not to like? 🙂
JB , you are my hero! These are absolutely AMAZING. Next time I make them, I’m thinking of adding a little peppermint extract. Mmmmm… mint chocolate mousse!
aggghhh I LOVE 5280 week! We went to a restaurant in Boulder though because it’s closer. I ran a train on some prime rib, mashed potatoes, and red wine. God bless 5280.
This looks amazingggggg!! I am out of coconut milk but luckily I am going to the grocery store tonight! That baby will be making it’s way to the fridge in preperation for this recipe!
