Ingredients

10 fluid ounces double (heavy) cream
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 ounces chestnut puree
1 1/2 ounces chopped plain chocolate or dark, unsweeten chocolate chips
2 ounces caster (superfine) sugar

Instructions

Beat the chestnut puree to lighten it. Whip the cream (not stiffly); fold in cinnamon, chestnut puree and chocolate. Divide among 4 heat-proof ramekins and smooth level. Chill 1 hour. Preheat the grill to highest setting. Sprinkle sugar on evenly; grill until bubbling. Leave to cool but serve within 2 hours to prevent the sugar softening. The sugar can of course be caramelised using a salamander or culinary-torch

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
