Evening everyone :wavey:,
Hope your all well
. Thank you for all the get well wishes. I am pleased to say the meds have kicked in and I am feeling better . I am not fully back on the SW wagon yet. This is my last week off plan. I hope to go back to my salad challenge for Monday 25th August .
I stepped on the scales this morning and since going off plan a few weeks back, I have gained half stone :sigh:. Oh well, it is what it is. All that yummy chocolate was bound to pile up. I hope to get back my 5.5 stone award by the end of September .
So in the last few days I have made a few recipes in my slow cooker, thought I'd share them with you, they were all sliming world friendly.
SLOW COOKER RECIPES
Here is my Okra curry with Quorn Mince with basmati rice. It came out yummy !
Then I made Quorn Chicken & Mushroom in white sauce to have with my JP, it was delish !
Then I made Quorn Chilli with rice, my fav !
okay now onto a new yummy dessert, not made in my slow cooker ! lol
BLACK CHERRY CHEESECAKE - 6 SYNS and well worth it !!
Ingredients :-
Use a cookie cutter to get the shape.
Take x2 Alpen lights as HEXb choice and crumble as base in cookie cutter.
Take half a tub of quark.
Mix in options white choc for 2 syns into the quark (add vanilla essence if you like and sweetener if you like it sweeter). Then layer ontop of Alpen Light base.
Now layer with 100g cherry filling - 4 syns (from 400g tin) ontop of quark layer (keep the cookie cutter on, do not remove at this stage).
Now place your cheesecake in the fridge (with the cookie cutter on) to set for 1 hour. Now take a spoon and gently pat the cheesecake down while you remove the cookie cutter ring so the cheesecake doesn't pull away with it.
Voila your yummy black cherry cheesecake is ready to eat !
I love sharing recipes ! hehe

Oh Kay, the dinners look yummy but that black cherry pud looks absolutely amazing! I have quark, I have alpen lights but boo, no cherry topping! Wonder if hubby would let me steal the black cherry bit out of one of his muller corner yogurts hehe, that must be similar but I'd have no idea how many syns. Oh well, I'll just have to wait. Hmm, I can foresee me wanting to just eat the rest of the tin of cherry topping though, what did you do with the rest or did you have it four days running lol.
So... the slow cooker was a definite success though. You've made me want to get mine out, will rummage through the cupboards tomorrow and see what I have I can concoct in it.

What are you trying to do to me woman?!!! I'm writing stuff fast on the shopping list lol. I could eat cheesecake for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Have you tried the sw lemoncurd? I made some couple of weeks ago and it is definitely passable. I'm going to make some more tomorrow and have it on toast for my breakfast. I don't usually have toast as I don't like using syns too much for toppings but its syn free so I am looking forward to that, the thought is making my mouth water. Lol, I'm greedy too!

Hey Michelle, thanks

Yep having it with rice, it won't be like your lamb curry, I'm sure it'll be 'westernised' in some way, but I'm already looking forward to it!!!

Syn free lemon curd
3 heaped dessert spns sweetener
grated rind and juice of one lemon
2 large eggs
2oz fat free fromage frais
In pyrex type bowl place grated lemon rind and sweetener. In separate bowl whisk lemon juice and eggs together, then pour into pyrex bowl. Place over pan of simmering water and stir until thickened (took about five mins)
Stir in fromage frais off the heat and whisk until smooth.
Stores for up to five days in the fridge (if you can make it last that long)
Its not as good as my 'normal' home made lemon curd, much paler because of the fromage frais but good an lemony if you use a large lemon. I think it would be good for your cheesecakes.
I crumbled a meringue into mine and topped it with a spoonful of choc shot. Yum!
I got the recipe from here somewhere but can't remember who from. Poss either Kathy (Chocko) or Jess? Apologies to whoever it was, I've just searched quickly but couldn't find it.

Evening Kay glad to hear your feeling better hunni. I am in drool heaven lol Ive made your cheesecakes in the past but I think the cherry one takes the prize it looks amazing and I will certainly be making it. I have also made the SW lemon curd it was passable but again nothing like the real thing. I think you could get away with it for your cheesecake though. Basic lemon curd is 1 syn per tsp.
Im craving sweet stuff now lol x
