Stu: How tasty does this look from the talents of Melanie De Laine. In her own words… “The Christmas period is where everyone is short on time, so the last thing we want to do is spend forever in the kitchen. If you’ve been tasked with Christmas dessert, your nearest and dearest will love you for this one! Can be made completely refined sugar free, dairy free, gluten free and vegan depending on the type of chocolate used.”
