Chocolate mud cake
The Nourished Chef created an Easter Egg Nest Mud Cake using Califia's Vanilla Oat Milk. We think this tastes so good it's a shame to only roll this recipe out for Easter. So go on, use it next time you're entertaining. 'The Vanilla Oat Milk is my top pick to add to baking, smoothies or chilled on it's own' - we hear you Clarissa! :)
