Caramelized Butternut Squash with Cacao Butter and Coconut is sort-of a cross between a winter squash pie (like pumpkin pie) and a crisp or crumble…but without the added starch from the crust or crumble topping. You won’t even miss it!

If you’ve been reading either of my blogs for any length of time, you may know that I fall in the chocolate camp when it comes to dessert.
