If you are anything like us, Christmas dessert is too good to pass up, but what’s a good option for someone who’s paying attention to what they eat?
These galettes are one of our favourite dessert recommendations as they are far lighter in calories than a traditional Christmas dessert, super easy to make and packed full of vitamins thanks to the fruit.
They are also completely customizable – choose your favourite fruits, or mix things up and serve a completely different dessert option at each of your Christmas gatherings.
