Has anyone tried the cherry and almond clafoutis receipe there is on the website at the mo?
Michelle Webb from Andover, Hampshire sent us this gorgeous recipe that’s a clever conversion of the traditionally high-Syn dessert, clafoutis. Michelle says “It’s great served with a dollop of very low fat fromage frais, or a scoop of ice cream (for 5½ Syns)”.
Serves: 8
Syns per serving:
1 Syn on Green and Original
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
ingredients
4 eggs
6-7 tbsp artificial sweetener
1 tsp almond essence
1 tsp vanilla essence
500g very low fat fromage frais
400g fresh cherries
method
1. Preheat the oven to 150°C/Gas 2. Beat together the eggs, sweetener, almond essence, vanilla essence and fromage frais until well mixed.
2. Halve and stone the cherries and scatter them over the base of a large flan dish. Pour over the egg mixture and bake for 50–60 minutes. When the dish is cooked, it should feel springy and have started to brown at the edges.
3. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing and eating.
Tip: If you can’t get hold of fresh cherriesyou could use canned cherry pie filling. Drain off the liquid and follow the recipe as before. This would increase the Syn value to 2 Syns per serving.
This sounds lovely (and really low in syns!) and although I'm not too adventurous when it comes to baking - I might give this a go at the weekend! |
