ingredients

8 slices of white bread from a small 400g loaf
4 level tablespoons reduced sugar marmalade
4 large eggs
340g/12oz very low fat natural fromage frais, plus a little to decorate
28g/1oz cocoa powder
1 teaspoon finely grated orange rind
5-6 tablespoon granulated artificial sweetener
14g/½oz plain chocolate
orange zest, to decorate

method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Sandwich the slices of bread together with the marmalade to make four sandwiches. Cut into quarters and lay the sandwiches overlapping in a small, ovenproof baking dish.

2. Make the custard: in a bowl, beat the eggs, add the fromage frais, sieve in the cocoa. Mix together until well combined. Stir in the orange rind and add sufficient sweetener to taste. Spoon the chocolate custard over the sandwiches to cover them completely, making sure it sinks between the sandwiches as well.

3. Stand the dish in a roasting tin and pour in boiling water to come halfway up the side of the dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes until just set and a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from the tin of water and stand for 10 minutes.

4. Place into individual serving bowls, grate the chocolate over and serve with the remaining fromage frais and orange zest.
