Bittersweet is how many years old?? Old enough you probably don’t remember the ultimate chocolate on chocolate on chocolate cake. What do you think, should we bring it back?

Has anyone told you today that you’re cute? As cute as this mini coconut cream pie? We’ve been obsessing over every detail from the texture of the cream to the handmade pie shell. It also has a layer of caramel for a bit of extra sweetness — just like you.
