Dessert is not an enemy. It is the last word of the day. That moment when you say to yourself: “I’ve lived. I’ve made it. I’m worthy.”

The first step is sugar. Not refined. Not white. Take honey. Or coconut sugar. Or date paste. They’re not “less caloric.” They’re more alive. They contain vitamins. They contain flavor. They contain history.
The second is fat. Not margarine. Not vegetable oil. Take coconut oil. Or cocoa butter. Or grass-fed butter. It doesn’t “harm.” It satiates. It gives a feeling of wholeness.
The third is fruit. Not jam. Not canned. Take berries. Fresh. Ripe. With tiny seeds. Let them be sweet and sour. This is nature. This is not artificial.
Fourth, nuts. Not roasted. Not salted. Take almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts. Chop them yourself. Let them be crunchy. This is texture. This is a reminder that life isn’t just sweet. It’s also hard. And complex.
