Ginger and Passion Fruit Creams


A very refreshing dessert, bursting with tropical flavours. 

 

Serves 2
½ Syn on Extra Easy

¼ cup buckwheat
2 tbsps sweetener
1 tsp ground ginger
5 passion fruits
1 egg
1 Müllerlight mango and passion fruit yogurt
4 tbsp spray cream



Dry toast the buckwheat in a pan until fragrant and browned. Take the pan off the heat and add the ginger with 1 tbsp sweetener. Add a little water (no more than a tbsp) and stir until the water evaporates and the sweetener and ginger is well mixed in with the buckwheat. Place in the bottom of two tall glasses.

Remove the seeds, pulp and juice form 4 of the 5 passion fruits and place in a bowl.

With an electric whisk, whip up the egg with the other tbsp of sweetener. In a double saucepan (or in a bowl over gently simmering water), stir the egg with a wooden spoon until it has thickened. This will take about ten minutes. Make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl and the heat is not too high, otherwise you will end up with scrambled eggs rather than custard.

Mix the passion fruit with the custard and pour into the glasses on top of the buckwheat. Chill in the fridge for two hours.

Divide the yogurt, then the spray cream between the two glasses and top with the pulp, juice and seeds from the last passion fruit.

Mango and Passion Fruit Pannacotta


I made this to take on our picnic this afternoon, and it was so quick and easy. Asda is selling six individual jelly moulds for £2, so I bought some this week, and the recipe fitted exactly into two of them.



Serves 2
Syn Free on Extra Easy

Providing you use the milk from your Healthy Extra A allowance


100ml skimmed milk
1 tbsp sweetener
1 sachet gelatine crystals
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tub Müllerlight Mango and Passion fruit Yogurt
3 passion fruits
½ mango

Heat the skimmed milk in a pan with the sweetener until just boiling. Sprinkle on the jelly crystals and whisk until thoroughly combined. Add vanilla essence and leave to cool. Gradually stir in the yogurt and put into individual jelly moulds.

Finely chop the mango and mix with the passion fruit pulp and seeds.

When ready to serve, invert the jelly mould carefully and serve with the passion fruit and mango mixture.
