340g/12oz small strawberries
4 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice

200g pot very low fat natural fromage frais
1 x 11g sachet Chocolate & Orange Options
1 level tsp cocoa powder
4 ready made meringue nests
Orange zest to decorate
Method;
1. Wash the strawberries and pat dry. Hull all but two of them. Slice the
remaining strawberries and place half in a blender or food processor with the
orange juice. Blend until smooth, then sweeten the puree with enough
sweetener to taste. Cover and chill the puree and the whole and sliced
strawberries until required.
2. Place the fromage frais in a small bowl and sieve in the Options and cocoa
powder. Mix until well combined. Cover and chill until required.

Drizzle the strawberry puree on to the plate and serve.
Cook's Note
You can prepare these desserts in advance up to the end of Step 2, but
always assemble them just before serving, as the fromage frais will dissolve
the meringue.​

CORNMEAL CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

Works out to about 0.6 of a sin each if you use the large muffin tins so call it
a half sin each I guess. (_ a sin each on a Green day)
The cornmeal used is Dunn's River Coarse ground. Which is exactly what
polenta is.
Ingredients;
1 _ cups / 8 ounces Coarse Cornmeal/Polenta meal free on a green day only)
1 large Egg beaten
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 _ pots of Mullerlight Toffee Yoghurt
7 – 10 tablespoons candarel/granulated sweetener
1 –2 tsp vanilla extract
3 sachets Caramel Options or Caramel/Dairy Fudge Hi Lites (6 sins)
_ oz sultanas chopped (2 sins) optional
Method;
29
Mix everything together well by beating with a balloon whisk for about 5
minutes. You will see the bicarb starting to react as tiny airholes appear.
Spoon batter into a well oiled muffin pan ( I used fry light and a 12 deep cup
muffin tin, filling 3/4 full. Bake at Gas 5/400 for 25 minutes or until risen.
Don’t bake them in paper cases as they stick like crazy.
You could mix in any fruit with these but remember to count as sins.
OR
Line a 6 x 9 x 1 inch swiss roll tin with non stick baking parchment.
Pour in the mixture and cook for about 40 minutes at the same oven temp as
above until the middle is well and truly set. Turn out onto a cutting board
and leave to cool. Cut in half widthways.
OR
Bake in an 8 inch loose bottom cake tin and serve as a cake.
OR
use the 4 tin yorkshire pudding tins. They make great little mock 'victoria
sponges'.
OR
Mix one pot of Quark cheese (free) with 1 tsp vanilla essence and 1 tbs
Candarel. Beat well. Spread over one half of the cooled cake. Spread the
other half with a tablespoon of warmed low sugar jam ( roughly 3 sins) and
sandwich together. Heaven!
It's great to have a cake on a green day that works out to only 6 sins!
(without the sultanas.) I used choc n orange options last time and added
cinnamon and mixed spice. YUM! Brilliant dipped into a pot of toffee yoghurt.​

Or try gently warming a pot of vanilla yoghurt and eat them as a hot pudding.

COUS COUS CAKE

4.5 Sins for the lot on Green
Ingredients/Method;
4oz cous cous to that add quarter pint of boiling water and let it stand for
about 5 mins to absorb water.
Dont leave too long at this stage as I think this is what makes it go rubbery.
Add 2 eggs and 2 tbsp lemon curd and rind and juice of a lemon.
beat all that together, cook for 20mins don't leave too long in the oven either
or you can cook in the microwave for about 5 mins.
When cool mix 4 oz quark with 1 tablespoon of lemon curd and a sweetener if
you need it and spread on top.
Variation;

I have also wondered about making it with
almond flavouring in the cake and topping with low sugar jam and quark. (like
bakewell tart) or adding dried mixed spice and a little dried fruit, like a hot x
bun, or coffee and a toffee or vanilla mullerlight. or banana mashed in​

instead of one of the eggs and maybe some chopped dried apricots or fresh??

FRUIT SOUFFLé OMELETTE

Light, fluffy and a little bit special, this omelette is also quick to make. The
recipe serves one, just use more eggs and make additional omelettes if
serving more people.
Serves 1
Sins per serving: 1.5 on Green and Original
Ingredients;
2 eggs, separated
1 level teaspoon powdered artificial sweetener

1 level teaspoon icing sugar (1 Sin)
Instructions;
34
1. Beat the egg yolks with the artificial sweetener in a large bowl. Whisk the
egg whites in a clean dry bowl until they stand in stiff peaks, then fold them
into the beaten yolks with a metal spoon.
2. Heat the lard in a small frying pan or omelette pan and, when it is hot and
sizzling, pour in the omelette mixture. Cook gently over a low heat until the
omelette starts to set and the underside is golden.
3. Place the omelette under a preheated hot grill for 1-2 minutes, just long
enough to lightly brown and set the top.
4. Slide the omelette out of the pan onto a serving plate. Top with the fruit,
sprinkled with a little artificial sweetener, then fold the omelette over and
serve immediately, dusted with icing sugar.
Variations;
Try these other fillings:

sweetener (1 Sin)
* 57g/2oz stewed cherries with artificial sweetener (1.5 Sins)
* sliced banana and very low fat natural yogurt, sweetened with artificial​
