This is my adapted version of the Key Lime pie. Hope you will like it. Let me know


Serves 8 people


You will need 18" loose bottomed cake tin


8 Alpine light bars I used chocolate and fudge. (Heb)
1 Sachet no added sugar lemon and lime jelly crystals. I used Hartley's. 1.5 syns for whole sachet
2 tsp powdered gelatine
juice of 4 limes
400g mullerlight vanilla yogurt
200g Quark
6 tbsp sweetener


Put Alpine bars in a bowl place in microwave for 45 seconds, then stir and place in the 18cm tin, press evenly over the base put into fridge to chill. Won't take long.


Mix jelly crystals with 140ml boiling water and then stir in the gelatine. Set a side to cool.


Put lime juice in to a bowl or food processor (I put mine in to a bowl). Add the cool jelly mixture, yogurt, quark and sweetener and blend until smooth. ( I done this by using a fork it did not take long). Then pour on to the alpine base and put into fridge to cool. I left mine in there for 5 hours it does say over night but found 5 hours long enough especially if your keen to have some. Lol.


i calculated it to 0.5 which will be over the syns used. But then you can always slice it up for four people which will still be 0.5 syns. Hope it makes sense. The only syn part is the jelly which is 1.5 for the whole lot in the cake so I just divided this to the serving qty x

Serves 4

4 skinless chicken breasts
4tbsp passata
fry light
150g slice mushrooms
120g grated reduce fat cheese
chopped onion

Preheat oven 190c/gas 7. Using sharpe knife cut each chicken breast lengthways, but not all the way through and open so it's out flat. Put each chicken breast on a separate square of kitchen foil and transfer to baking trays.

Spread 1 tbsp of passata over each breast, then spray the edges with fry light, top with mushrooms and onion. Then sprinkle over the cheese.

fold edges of the foil up around the sides of the chicken to catch juices. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.

if need to put under grill to brown the top. I found I didn't need to do this,


hope you enjoy it x x
