This Valentine’s day, we’ve gone buck-rogers with a racy show about aphrodesiacs! For the occasion we’ve concocted a pulse-punding chocolate sauce chock-full of sensuous spices like maca, cayenne, and cinnamon to get you in the mood for love. Treat your sweetie, (or yourself!) and use it to top some of our fabulous nearly raw vegan ice cream from episode #0055 , or if you live in New York, grab some awesome raw vegan ice cream from Pure Food and Wine. Feel the love!
