My friend, Tanya, is the only friend I’ve ever made over Instagram. Who would have thought social media would actually foster a real life connection? In addition to being a beautiful soul, she and her husband make one talented executive chef and executive pastry chef team.

Currently, Tanya and her husband, Scott, head up the Lighthouse Grill in Bellingham, Washington. And, when Tanya posted this recipe to Instagram, I convinced her to let me share it. I assure you, friends, it is as yummy as it looks and makes an elegant holiday dessert. Cheers!
