Homemade Raspberry Chocolate Magnums (Healthier)

Homemade Raspberry Chocolate Magnums (Healthier)

These homemade raspberry chocolate magnums are the best magnum flavour I’ve tried so far! They're so easy to make using better-for-you-ingredients and easily adjustable to likes and preferences.

However, as much as I enjoy a magnum at the time of eating one, I'm always left feeling heavy, sluggish and weighed down afterwards. I'm a bit funny when it comes to dairy - I can eat some products and feel completely fine afterwards, but dairy ice cream for some reason just doesn't sit well in my stomach. I think it's the mixture of the dairy, high fat content and high [...]
