If you want to make a dessert that is a bit more healthy than normal desserts and is gluten free, this is a really good option. I used coconut sugar which gave is a lovely caramelly flavour and it wasn't too sweet either. Coconut sugar doesn't raise your blood sugars as much as normal sugar, so afterwards you should feel a bit more balanced than if you'd had a super sweet dessert.The polenta gives you fibre and protein, and the almonds give you good fats and protein. But this genuinely doesn't taste like it's healthy. So if you are in to your desserts, give this one a go!
