Hi, can anyone give me a low syn chocolate cake recipe? I've tried the sqidgy chocolate cake but it tasted bland and slighly bitter.

I'm not a huge fan of fruit in a cake so maybe choc cheesecake or a choc sponge/choc mousse.

Help much appreciated, I need a choc fix before I reach for the chocolate bars!!!!
 
Hi, if you search on the recipe section for 'chocolate pudding' there's a recipe for a very low syn dessert/mousse using tofu! It seems everyone's raving about it! Haven't tried it myself yet but I'm going shopping tomorrow to get the ingredients!

I bought the ingredients for this today and as I was making it I was thinking is this for real! Tofu and cocoa powder? But my goodness, it tasted delish!

I tried it straight after it was all mixed together but then split the mixture into 4 portions and chilled for 2 hrs, was even nicer cold!

Thanks i now feel like I've been choco-fied!!

Hey Kankles! You beat me to it! I had a job finding the tofu (eventually got some from Sainsburys) and cant wait to make it tomorrow! I'm glad you liked it...it is a bit of a weird combination but looks like it works. Hopefully stop those choc cravings :17729:
 
I couldn't find it at first. I stopped one of the shop assistants in asda to ask if they sold it and at first he thought I asked for toffee.....I wish! Anyway, he told me no they do not sell it, suprise surprise I walked to the end of the isle and there it was! I was determined to get my ingredients!!!
 
We had a similar experience in Tesco and sainsburys. We were twice sent to the chiller cabinet, but that's the hard solid stuff, and just as we were about to giv up I spotted it on the top shelf!
Gotta take son number 1 to hospital today to hopefully get his wrist plaster removed, then I'm going to dash back and make this pudd! How r u getting on? :)
 
They seem like they can't be bothered to look half the time!!! Blinking nuisance!

Hope ur son is ok? He had a little accident did he?

I'm getting on really well surprisingly. I have been mostly making meals from minimins and making enough to take to work the next day, since I switched from a bog standard packed lunch the weight is coming off much quicker.

How are u finding things?

It kind if looks like a cream coloured blamange! The packaging was a blue and White carton similar to an orange juice carton but a much smaller version!

I highly recommend this choc pudding, if u need a quick choc fix without high syns it's great x

Yes, Andy had a little accident...went bowling, forgot to change out of his bowling shoes, headed into town to celebrate his birthday and slipped over! Broke his wrist! It's been a nightmare as he couldnt drive to college so hubby and I have been taking him, and then of course he couldn't write so we've been writing out his course work!
I'm really quite enjoying sw! I've done it a few times before so I know it works...I just have trouble keeping it off. Usual stuff...emotional eating...same as 1/2 the people on here I should think!
I made the tofu choc pudd, very tastey but lumpy! Dunno wot I did wrong so will try again nxt wk! Made gorgeous Orange mousse tonight tho...Hartleys lf jelly made up with 1/2 pt boiling water. Allow to cool for 1/2 hr then whisk in about 3 Mullerlight yoghurts or any lf yoghurt (i used lf vanilla) and shove it in the fridge to set. V nice ;)
What night do u weigh in? Mines tomorrow...not too sure how I've done this wk.
 
I'm attempting the tofu cake for out class tasting next week, may have to do a dummy run first!

Ive phoned syns hot line this evening and the tofu is defo free ladys :) x
 
Thank goodness for that! :clap:

It did seem a bit odd...I mean silken tofu is normally blended before use...so you're not doing anything to it that you shouldn't. I'm so pleased we can use it...:gimi:
