If you are following a “clean eating” type regime you may have heard of this sort of thing already. I had – I’d just never made one. When Charlotte from Buttercream and Dreams said it was part of her suite of new RMS recipes I was very interested to see what it tasted like, and would it REALLY be as quick to make as alleged?

Well it was delicious. AND super speedy to create.

Plus it’s gluten free and can be dairy AND completely sugar free should you decide to be very very good.
