Whole cheesecake - 2 syns... to good to be true?

[LaurelAmy]

I found a recipe today to make a chocolate cheesecake and before I devour the entire thing I must see what you guys think first

its made with 1 egg, very low fat natural fromage frais, very low fat natural cottage cheese, 1 sachet highlights hot chocolate and sweetener...

I made a scan bran base (not sure if this worked or not yet)

Is this really 2 syns for the entire cheesecake?

If it is only 2 syns then I think I'll squeal with delight!

me too! sounds yum, cant imagine choc cheesecake made with cottage cheese tho. i would use quark and i will literally eat quark with options ina bowl lol xxx

scan bran are 1 syn each (if you are using them as a HEb, that is okay as long as you make sure you have your entire HEb) and then you need to syn the highlight options.

From a calorie point of veiw, it's 282 for the cheese cake part alone. That's 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of low fat natural fromage frais and one sachet of options. The egg is 86 calories on top of that. So including a portion of the bran I'd say it would be about 400ish calories.

slimming world doesnt use calories hun, only for syns xx

I think I may just have to give a go, it sounds yummy.

Let us know how the scan bran base works.

will quark do instead of cottage cheese? please say it does lol!!

 

[mia_queenbee]

i would have thought quark would be better too maybe we should test it lol x

 

[kdub24]

i done it but was too bitter x

Sounds yum and could use syns for a biscuit base I think? 3 light digestives 10.5 syns I think so would be ok per slice ? About 3 syns a slice when done I think ( if you cut it in to 6)

 

[paulabeard]

I use alpen lights for my base its delicious xx

 

[kt_leahy]

any ideas for a good base for the cheesecake if the scan bran didn't work? The topping sounds delish!
