Whenever I hear about one of these challenges, it just sparks my imagination. It’s a challenge to come up with a lighter/skinnier, or healthier version of a dessert. Desserts were created for us to bathe in sugar right? Well that’s what we all thought. But I have discovered that dessert doesn’t have to always be so freaking sweet. Most of the time it does, but not always.
And how I love the dessert challenges. The best part is sharing my recipe with every along with all the other great bloggers who enter the challenge to.
