Banoffe Pie

---

Serves 8
Syns per serving: 4 on all

Ingredients

• 10 butter crisp biscuits
• 3 bananas
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Canderel
• 1 sachet Ovaltine Toffee Options
• 1lb/454g Quark skimmed milk soft cheese
• 1 tbsp powdered gelatine
• 1 large egg white
• 1oz/28g plain chocolate

Method

1. Grease and line an 8in/20.5cm spring clip cake tin with baking parchment. Place the biscuits in a clean plastic bag and, holding the end, crush with a rolling pin. Scatter the biscuits evenly over the base of the tin.
2. Peel 2 bananas and mash with the lemon juice. Place in a bowl and stir in the Canderel, Options and Quark.
3. Pour 3 tbsp boiling water over the gelatine and stir until dissolved. Whisk the egg white until stiff and fold into the banana mixture.
4. Add the gelatine and gently fold the mixture together until well blended. Pile on top of the crushed biscuits, smooth the top over and chill for 2 hours until set.
5. To serve, carefully release the pie from the tin and place on a serving plate. Peel and slice the remaining banana and arrange on top of the pie. Grate over the chocolate and serve.

Note: The lemon juice helps slow down the browning process of the banana. After the chilling time, the banana will discolour slightly, but this has no effect on the taste.

Lentil Cheddar Bake from Slimming Eats website. I add cooked chicken or bacon & additional veggies and it makes a lovely meal

that sounds nice
goes off to find it on Slimming Eats

Yesterday I cooked the Turkey, Bacon and Thyme hotpot, I would fully recommend anyone to make this dish as it tastes amazing. At only one syn per portion how can you go wrong? I served mine with rice.

This sounds lovely and very simple. I think I will give this a go

My favourite dessert is Eton Mess.
Tub of Quark
2 tbs sweener
Rasberries
2 drops of vanilla essence
1 meringue nest

Pour quark into a bowl and stir in the sweetner. Stir in vanilla essence. Add rasberries and crush the meringues nest over the mixture. Stir and serve. Just 3 syns for the meringue nest. Tastes amazing!

Goodness - this sounds lush. Got to try - maybe with a bit of plastic cheese

hi all just back after 12 months not watching what I was eating - but thankfully only gained just over a stone ! Was well pleased to see the quicky cheesecake dessert that I posted was still popular.

tonight I did Eton Mess but with only nat yog and sweetener and strawberries and sweetener and meringue nest broken roughly into it - DELICIOUS. Going back through this thread now to take off some recipes to keep on track again (saturday morning class now). Good luck to all.

The Carbonara from the Jan/Feb magazine has become a firm favorite! SO quick and easy to make too

just had my first taste of Syn free BBQ sauce, what a winner! lovely as a stir fry sauce with chicken and veggies! thanks for the recipe.

 

[Moonz328]

the syn free BBQ sauce IS good, especially with bacon & eggs

 

[farmer me]

Skinless, boneless chicken thighs, trimmed of any visible fat, in a baking tray with any or all of the following - baby carrots (Chantenay are nicest), diced peppers, sliced onions, cubes of butternut squash, cubes of aubergine, chestnut mushrooms, halved new potatoes. Sprinkle with a little soy sauce and lemon juice, add some whole peeled garlic cloves if you like garlic, spray with olive oil or Frylight, and pop in the oven until everything is cooked and brown.

I have 2 favourites - both from this site.

Breakfast - magic porridge with strawberries and blueberries. Easy to make and easy to eat at work. I leave the house too early to face any breakfast so have been haing this every day.

I also tried Diet Coke Chicken last weekend and it was delish! I added some red peppers for super free and served with boiled rice. Easy and nice - who could ask for more.

Been doing SW for two weeks now and lost 6.5 lbs so far.

Lots of lovely looking recipes on this site that I look forward to trying over the next few months.
