Dessert lover Arman Liew, author of Clean Sweets (The Countryman Press, 2020) and the blog The Big Man’s World, believes that, when it comes to sweets, healthy substitutions cannot sacrifice taste. Ever. “After extensively experimenting with recipes, I have a firm grasp on what works and what doesn’t in healthy dessert adaptations,” he says. Here’s one of his favorites, excerpted from Clean Sweets.
