This blueberry and cocoa powder sweet treat is a dream if you love sweets and healthy eating!

Same dessert from my instagram account! (mariatikka_nutr)
  • Cocoa powder and single cream: The best combination to create a dessert favourite that tastes like a patisserie treat. Its texture is similar to commercial chocolate sauces!
  • Blueberries are so versatile in dessert recipes and full of fibre, vitamins and minerals. Feel free to try this recipe with strawberries too. You will not be dissapointed! 80g of blueberries contain only 36 kcal and count as 1 of your 5 a day.
  • Cocoa powder is a magnesium and soluble fibre powerhouse! It will keep you full and it tastes like heaven!
  • If you need a vegan substitute for single cream, this recipe looks very promising. I haven’t tried it myself though!
