Here’s a gooey chocolate custard healthy eating dessert that is just calling out to have fresh fruit dipped into it.
Make a big batch for the whole family and be the dessert hero – they don’t need to know it’s actually healthy.
We love it with strawberries to dip into, but you could use any fruit you fancy – pineapple chunks, watermelon, pitted cherries, orange segments – they will all work.
Instead of the cream and sugar of the traditional blancmange recipe, this simple dessert calls for pantry cupboard staples with only 5g of sugar to serve 4 people.
Who said eating healthy food to lose pregnancy weight had to mean missing out on dessert?
