I have been trying lots of variations to try and create the lowest syn cheesecake possible for a summer dessert and have come up with this.
Low Syn Lemon & Lime Cheescake
2 packs of alpen lights
2 tubs of quark
2 sachets of hartleys lemon & lime sugar free jelly (1 1/2 syns per sachet)
zest & juice of 2 lemons
Sweetener to taste
Serves 6 (1/2 a syn & HE B per serving)
Using a 20 cm loose bottom springform cake tin. I started by microwaving the alpen lights 2 at a time for 20 seconds and pressing down in the base of the cake tin to form a base. I used the apple & sultana variety.
Mix the jelly sachets with 1/2 pint of boiling water and stir well, leave to cool slightly.
Mix the quark, lemon zest and juice and sweetener ( i used about 4 tbsps). Combine with the jelly mixture and mix well. Pour over the base and chill.
I cut into 6 generous servings and as long as you use the Alpen lights as a HE B then it only works out as 1/2 a syn per slice.
Next week i will try a chocolate orange one using orange jelly and orange zest and juice and double chocolate alpens for the base.
