Serves 8
Syns per serving: 4 on original and green

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

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.
Peel 2 bananas and mash with the lemon juice. Place in a bowl and stir in the Canderel, Options and Quark.
Pour 3 tbsp boiling water over the gelatine and stir until dissolved. Whisk the egg white until stiff and fold into the banana mixture.
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.
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.

Very Low Fat Fruitcake Recipe

You need a 1llb loaf tin, either greased or lined with baking parchment.

8 oz mixed dried fruit (or any combination, whatever you like)

soaked in one mug of hot tea overnight - just tea and water, no milk!
it makes the fruit plump up and gives a lovely flavour to the cake.

Next day, add 1 egg
1 tablespoon of low sugar marmalade
1 teaspoon of nutmeg or mixed spice

Mix with 8 oz SR Flour

I like to add either 1 tablespoon of orange juice, or orange you dilute to drink, or sherry!

Bake at 170F for 45 mins

and don't be tempted to slice it and butter!!

I found this one on Sainsbury's website, and figure it would be free on SW on a red day, and you could have it on a green day if you count the bacon as a healthy extra.

There aren't any instructions, but you could try frying chopped onions and lean bacon in fry light, then stir in chopped savoy cabbage and stir fry until cooked. mmmm...
