A while back I posted a recipe for a paleo chocolate banana loaf that was very popular with readers, and since then I have been wanting to (and it’s not often that I say this) make a non-chocolatey version with blueberries. I’m rather pleased with the results!

We are counting down the sleeps until Christmas Day and there’s just time for one more Christmas recipe and my last post for 2018! This festive showstopper looks beautiful on the table and makes a decadent and delicious dessert. What is it exactly?
