We are deep into November, the month of gratitude. Today we say “Thank You!” to a family friend, a man of conviction, gross intelligence, and revered family man. We thank you, for protecting your neighbors, your community, and strangers. We thank you for being fair, kind, patient, and diligent.

We thank YOU and your FAMILY for all the sacrifices you all have made so we all are safe. 

Recently, a close family friend has retired from a thirty-year career in Law Enforcement and we wanted to show our gratitude for everything he has done for the past thirty years. Nothing done could demonstrate how grateful we are because each day you worked, you put your life on the line so we all could sleep safe in our homes. This is an extremely small token of our appreciation.

To celebrate this man and his family we made this Flourless chocolate cake. The base recipe is from Johanna Gaines, we added the Bourbon-infused whip cream and cut some of the espresso powder, as too much can result in tummy aches! We also replaced granulated sugar with raw sugar. This is a rich and decadent cake that is topped with a cloud-like whip cream that is infused with Bourbon.

Once the chocolate is melted for the ganache, add 1 tablespoon of Bourbon and stir it in. This adds a bolder punch of Bourbon flavor through the cake. 

Not a Bourbon fan, infuse the whipping cream with 2 teaspoons of orange extract.
