Quick Choc Chia Pud
When you’re in need of a low carb, zero/low sugar dessert at short notice, it’s good to have one or two recipes up your sleeve that you can throw together with minimal fuss or fancy ingredients.

It’s a bit of a dark horse isn’t it? It sits up the end of the garden looking like it might taste a bit dull and old fashioned. And yet with just a little cooking, love and some sweetness added - maybe even a little spice or zest too, it delivers such a unique and delicious twangy taste.
If you fancy a lovely light, satisfying dessert at the end of a Summer meal, this rhubarb fool meets the bill wonderfully. And its really easy to make. Read more
