Quorn mince i used about 3/4 of a small frozen pack
1 sachet Schwarts chedder cheese sauce mix
300ml milk
2oz chedder ( not low fat)

method
soften onion and carrots in fry light, then add tomatoes, stock cube, some water, balsamic vineger, salt and pepper an herbs. simmer for 20 mins ish. Then blitz with hand blitzer. add quorn mince and simmer for 10 or so mins, add more water if necessary.
meanwhile make the sauce following packet instructions.
assemble as for any lasagne. sprinkle cheese over top. I cooked at 180c for 30mins.

It was indeed! Well It tasted like a chocolate brownie but i forgot to see what time it was when I put it in the oven, so was pure guess work lol Tasted nice :)

I used Tesco own granulated sweetner 75g tub, as the prices of the others were too high. Need to make it again though as let the yolk mixture get too thick and if you look closely you can see the coco clogs lol!! It was just right in sweetness, I need to sort the texture out by doing it right this time, oh and making a record of the time it goes in the oven!!
 
Thanks :) Will try again with lots more sweetner. Thought i might try using some options powder instead of some of the cocoa?? and mix the powder with some hot water to make it mix with the yolk mix better?

Think this is a project for the week.
