Michelle Webb from Andover, Hampshire sent us this gorgeous recipe that’s a clever conversion of the traditionally high-Syn dessert, clafoutis. Michelle says “It’s great served with a dollop of very low fat fromage frais, or a scoop of ice cream (for 5½ Syns)”.

Serves: 8
Syns per serving:
1 Syn on Green, Original and Extra Easy
Preparation time: 10 minutes  
Cooking time: 1 hour

ingredients

4 eggs
6-7 tbsp artificial sweetener
1 tsp almond essence
1 tsp vanilla essence
500g very low fat fromage frais
400g fresh cherries

method

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C/Gas 2. Beat together the eggs, sweetener, almond essence, vanilla essence and fromage frais until well mixed.

2. Halve and stone the cherries and scatter them over the base of a large flan dish. Pour over the egg mixture and bake for 50–60 minutes. When the dish is cooked, it should feel springy and have started to brown at the edges.

3. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing and eating.

Tip: If you can’t get hold of fresh cherries you could use canned cherry pie filling. Drain off the liquid and follow the recipe as before. This would increase the Syn value to 2 Syns per serving.
