Dark Chocolate, Cinnamon and Orange Mousse
A silky smooth, decadent dessert that is easy to make. Cocoa contains flavanols and theobromine, which is a vasodilator, while cinnamon’s cinnamaldehyde has anti-inflammatory properties and can help improve blood sugar control. Honey contains phenolic compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Dessert should always be consumed in moderation and remember that it should always be a treat.
