Low-syn Rocky Roads

Rocky Roads are a classic, and such a rich food is typically made with the high quantities of rich ingredients such as butter and sugar. Rocky Road bars from the local cafe can set you back up to 20 syns! However with a few smart swaps, this slimming world version of Rocky Roads will set you back a mere 4 syns a pop. Perfect on the go snack or to impress the pals at an afternoon tea at yours. :)

Banoffee Cheesecake

Sometimes you crave something more indulgent than a muller light. When you can spare a few syns of an evening, this dessert will take no more than 5 minutes to whip up. If you have a couple of Healthy B cereal bars ready to go, this will only be 2 syns. Otherwise, you can use 3 Cadbury chocolate fingers, which along with your choc shot brings the total to 4 syns. One extra note - it's well worth getting yourself a shnazzy dessert bowl/glass to feel like you're truly indulging!

Ingredients:

2xAlpen light chocolate fudge/other Healthy B alternative

or

3xCadbury Chocolate fingers, crushed

1/2 tub of Quark

2 drops of vanilla essence

(Optional) 1/2 a Muller Light Toffee Flavour

2 Tablespoons of sweetener

1 small banana, sliced

Teaspoon of choc shot (any flavour) 

Directions: 

1. In a bowl, mix the quark with the sweetener and vanilla essence.  (Taste at this point to see if you need more of either!)

2. Start off with building the banoffee with a layer of the crushed alpen light/chocolate fingers at the base (save a bit for later!)

3. Add half of your quark mix

4. Add a layer of banana

5. Add the rest of the wuark

6. Squeeze your choc shot on top with some extra banana slices, and a sprinklig of the remaining chocolate fingers/ alpen light.

See, not much to it! I couldn't believe how full I felt afterwards, you can also buy some mini plastic glasses and break the mixture up to last a couple of days, up to you! :)
