It's not often that I get the chance to make a pudding, so when my mom invited me round for dinner last Saturday evening I thought it was the perfect opportunity to give this recipe a go.

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Fridge Time: 2 hours
Syns per serving: 3.5

Ingredients

50g milk chocolate broken into small pieces
3 large eggs, separated
3 tbsp sweetener
A few drops of peppermint extract
4 tsp chocolate sprinkles

Optional - Fat free natural Fromage Frais (or low fat cream for additional syns) 

Method

1. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Remove from the heat once melted and allow to cool a little.


2. Meanwhile, in a large glass bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric beater. They should stand up in stiff but not dry peaks when the blades are lifted.


3. In another large bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sweetener and peppermint extract until pale and thick.  Fold in the melted chocolate, then fold in the egg whites using a metal spoon.


4. Spoon into freezer proof dessert glass dishes, cover with cling film and put in the fridge for at least 2 hours.  Decorate each dish with a tsp of chocolate sprinkles and the optional items if you wish.


I was pleasantly surprise with how these turned out. Even though they are slimming world, both my dad and brother really enjoyed them and didn't miss the full fat taste of normal desserts.

If you decide to make this, let me know how it turns out.
