Despite the abundance of desserts available to me over the past month, I've not yet gotten sick of my sweet tooth. But that doesn't mean I'm excused to indulge every opportunity I get just because it's the holiday season.

This single-serving option is ready in just minutes and is vegan and gluten-free without relying on crazy specialty ingredients.
