Healthy, because
This is where the exotic fruits really come into their own, bringing more than a third of the daily requirement of defensive vitamin C per piece of cake onto the plate. With less than 300 calories per portion, even slim-conscious connoisseurs can cut themselves a slice of it!
Even smarter
Fat and calorie-conscious cake lovers make the coconut yoghurt themselves: from skimmed milk yoghurt and 2 tablespoons of coconut flakes (instead of ready-made coconut yoghurt).
