Going au naturel with desserts

Cinnamon-soaked pears, avocado-cacao mousse, kale brownies (pictured) – these are just a few examples of the healthy desserts doing the rounds. As more and more of us try to avoid sugar and artificial sweeteners – as endless reports come out about how both harm our health – we’re turning back to nature to satiate our sweet tooth. Frozen treats, in particular, are being revamped in a big way. We’ve already mentioned hummus ice cream, but ingredients such as avocado and coconut water are also being transformed into icy delights.
