Healthy, because
The hot chilli has a stimulating effect on digestion and metabolism. The pungent substance capsaicin can even temporarily boost fat burning. The hot pepper also has an analgesic effect for headaches, sore muscles or nerve pain.
Even smarter
For a vegan alternative you can use substitute products from the supermarket instead of crème fraîche. These are mostly soy-based.
