Fake Jelly Sweets

So to ween myself off chocolate and sweets I've made up these fake ones. 1.5 syns for the lot. Basically make up a heartless jelly sachet as directed and also add in some powdered gelatine. I put one sachet in these but I think i'd put another one in next time so they set a little firmer! Still, can't complain for 1.5 syns!

Low Syn Chocolate Cake

Obviously the one on the right above, I need to take a picture next time I bake it! Would highly recommend!

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs
• 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 70g sugar substitute (eg. Splenda)
• 60g cocoa powder

 

Method:

• Preheat over to 185°C (fan)
• Spray a little Frylight in a loaf tin and line with greaseproof paper
• Separate the eggs and in one bowl, mix the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
• In another bowl, mix the other ingredients together – the eggs yolks, Splenda, vanilla and cocoa. You may find the mixture a little stiff so it’s OK to add a little splash of water at this stage.
• Fold in the egg whites, a little at a time.
• Pour mixture into your tin.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes.

 

Apple Betty

• 1 large eating apple, peeled, cored and sliced
• 4 eggs
• 5 tbsp artificial sweetener
• 2 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 apple strudel muller light yoghurt
• Pinch of cinnamon, to dust
• Fat free natural fromage frais, sweetened to taste, to serve.

method

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C Fan/Gas 5.
2. Arrange the apple slices in a 20cm flan dish.
   
3. Beat the eggs with the sweetener and vanilla extract, then add the yogurt and beat again.
4. Pour the eggs over the apple and let them sink in the fruit, dust with cinnamon and bake for 30 minutes or until set.
5. Serve warm with fromage frais.

This is the modified recipe I used. The only syns is for the baked apple which was 5 syns for the size of Apple I used. (1.5 syns per 100g) so when you divide it into 6 it works out at less than 1 Syn per portion! Yum! 

Chocolate Orange Squares

4 eggs, separated
50g caster sugar
5 tbsp artificial sweetener
150g self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp finely grated orange zest
Juice of 2 oranges
120g Kraft chocolate Philadelphia
Tin of mandarin oranges (drained of syrup)


Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C Fan/Gas 5. Line a cake tin with non-stick baking parchment, approximately 24cm x 17cm.

Place the egg yolks, caster sugar, sweetener, self raising flour, baking powder, orange zest and juice in a bowl and whisk until thick and pale.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until softly peaked then fold them into the egg yolk mixture.

Spoon this mixture into the prepared cake tin and cook in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cake has risen and is firm to touch. Leave to cool.

Warm the chocolate Philadelphia in the microwave for a few seconds, then turn the cake upside down, remove the baking parchment and spread the chocolate Philadelphia over the top.

Cut into 24 pieces and place a mandarin orange segment on the top of each square.

I had a sweet tooth and just one of these squares is enough for me but at 2.5 syns each you can definately have another if you need to!

Let me know your thoughts.

Sweet Chilli Chicken Stir Fry

That was my tea tonight. 

So simple

Noodles, it's upto you if you use syns on them or not. 

Chicken. I popped some chilli flakes in with the chicken to give it the kick. 

Any veg you want. I opted for one of the pre packed stir fry vegs you can get. 

Make sure your chickens cooked then pop in your veg and noodles cook for 3-4 mins then chuck in your sauce (sweet and sour in my case) and then cook for 1 min and you're done!

So easy and so tasty!
