LATEST ADVICE
Is this also dairy free please?
Hi Debra
Thanks for your question. We haven’t put a dairy-free icon on this recipe because some dark chocolate isn’t dairy free. If you use dairy-free dark chocolate, yes it will be a dairy-free dish. Just check the label.
I hope that helps.
Warm regards
Jenny, Healthy Food Guide editor
