This recipe makes a perfect dessert that you can enjoy guilt free as it is free from refined sugars. Of course, as with all natural sugars, it should still be eaten in moderation but it’s so satisfying, one slice is enough to curb that sweet craving.
This is also a great dessert to take along to dinner parties as it is vegan, dairy and gluten free. It is also simple to make and can be stored in the fridge for around 5 days.
