Creating recipes that are, ‘Dairy and Refined Sugar Free’ is a passion of mine. I love showing clients as well as family and friends just how tasty snacks and desserts can be along with turning staple meals into healthier versions without losing flavour.

I hope you enjoy this recipe just as much as I do 🙂
