Christmas Gifting – Acai Chocolate Muffins with Acai Cream 

Harvested from the Amazonian rainforest, the deep purple acai berry is all the rage these days. According to studies, acai has very high antioxidant levels meaning a daily dose can help mop up those disease-provoking free radicals. A study not so long ago said the acai can help reduce cholesterol too. So, no need to feel guilty when you have one (or two) of these little cakes for afternoon tea!
