*Slimming World Recipe Thread*

Great idea lil_me - there's so many great recipes in among the posts that they are sometimes hard to find!

I made half quantities of this the other day, it was really nice and still did me two meals. I think the recipe originally came from Minimins thread.

Baked upside-down cheesecake

Total 19.5 syns (or 9 syns if using ginger snaps) if divided by 4 servings 5 syns or 2.5 syns each.


200g fruit (rhubarb, blackcurrants, gooseberries etc) personally I don't syn cooked fruit, although I know that isn't the orthodox SW way!
good sprinkle of sweetener
1/2 tsp cornflour (1 syn)


200g quark
15g sweetener (I like it quite "tart", might need more for your taste)

1/2 tspn cornflour (1 syn)
Finely grated zest of 1 orange or lemon
1 medium egg
some skimmed milk to loosen the mixture
5 digestives (3.5 syns each so 17.5 syns, if I had used 5 ginger snaps at 2.5 syns each would have been 7 syns) finely crumbled


In a pan with a lid, cook the fruit with sprinkle of sweetener and 25ml water until barely soft. Take a spoonful of the juice, cool and mix with the cornflour, then gently stir back in and heat until the compote has slightly thickened. Spoon into a deep serving dish.


Beat the quark with the 15g sweetener, cornflour and lemon or orange zest until smooth. Beat in the egg, then a small amount of milk to loosen the mixture slightly. Carefully spoon this over the fruit, and sprinkle a layer of biscuit crumbs over the top. Bake at 160C (140C fan-assisted)/320F/gas 2½ for 30 - 40 minutes, until barely set in the middle. Leave to cool for 10 minutes before serving, or leave until warm.
