During this coronacrisis it has become more challenging for many to keep up with healthy lifestyle and food choices.
Staying indoors a lot, stress for some, boredom and loneliness for others…it drives us towards comfort food and more sugar. Yet it is more important than ever that we take care of ourselves.
Healthy foodchoices are made during shopping, so I decided not to buy any cookies or chocolate anymore. But we do like to eat some dessert once in while! Here’s what I came up with in our improvised kitchen here in Portugal. Probably the internet is exploding with similar recipes, but I discovered it all by myself 
So nice to see the chemistry of dessertmaking work out perfectly!
