    I love your lessons! You crack me up! I burned my coffee syrup really bad. The kind of burn that stinks up the whole house & ruins your pan, burn. Then it really became a mess when I tried to fix with a syrup. Mess as in I turned my back for a second & cream & liquid are flying everywhere, & I mean Everywhere! I'm guessing coconut sugar has a different reaction than sugar, & mix in gently doesn't mean leave in kitchen-aide to whip some more;) My fault lol but I have now discovered Nutella uh oh
    appreciate appreciated

    LOL!! I am so sorry that happened to you Tiffany!! Yes, you must watch the coffee like a hawk and stir it constantly or else....coffee will attack! Now, the fact that you discovered Nutella in this whole process makes it totally worth it though..right?
