Easy breezy, quick & delicious dessert, perfect for New Year’s Eve party with your friends to dig in and enjoy. Did I mention it is healthy as well??? Of course it is, just like most of my desserts. You know me, I love fruits, chocolate and whipped cream and I am always looking for healthier ways to satisfy the sweet tooth.

 

This recipe is also the final one for the year 2015 but not the last one ever of course. I have lots of new ideas and they will be as delicious as those I published so far. Starting this blog was a quite exciting experience and it turned out better than I thought. The truth is that I really enjoy it and I wish to continue for many more years to come.

 

Otherwise, I really hope you are having great Holidays this year and you are eating consciously as well. Sending lots of love and I will be back in 2016.
