if you wish you can draw a knife through the mixture to swirl the raspberry into the chocolate

Place in freezer for at least 30minutes

When ready to serve remove from freezer and dig in!
i like to pre chop mine up into squares once firmed then place back in freezer.

This Particular recipe is quite a bit higher in good fats with moderate protein and carbs. Its something i only add in on my cheat day as i usually cant resist temptation of going back for more!

Its a great alternative to a high sugary Cheese Cake!


Remember everything in moderation ;)

ENJOY!
