Nutritional values

Does cream have to be a sin? Definitely not, if it is combined with such "slim" ingredients! In addition, together with buttermilk it provides valuable protein and bone-strengthening calcium.

This exotic-looking dessert cuts a fine figure even with a sophisticated menu. And the best thing about it is that it can easily be prepared one or two days before the meal.
