Method
- Blend everything, starting with 3 tbsp cocoa. If you can still taste egg, add a little more.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours, then serve.
What we changed and why
- Many vanilla extracts use corn-based alcohol. Look for one made with cane alcohol, or use vanilla bean powder.
Items marked "check" need a quick label read: corn hides in starches, dextrose, and vinegar.
