Rice Pudding (My version)

One thing which never ceases to amaze me at Slimming World is the originality and strangeness of some of the recipes. I wonder who on earth puts some of the ingredients together.....so I was experimenting with a Rice Pudding recipe - using cream soda! One of the gals had tried it out and thought it was too sweet and sickly - so I tried my own take on it, but using lemonade instead of cream soda. I didn't have any pudding rice so tried long grain rice. Basically I put some rice into a microwave dish and topped up with a can of diet lemonade. Microwaved on full power for 10 minutes and checked to see the lemonade had not dried up. I added another can and microwaved for a further 10 minutes then left to stand for 10 minutes then stirred in a tablespoon of crème fraiche. Tasted absolutely gorgeous. Comfort food in a matter of minutes. Tip - use a large microwave dish as the lemonade rises a lot!

Pancakes

Ingredients
2 eggs
Vanilla extract
2 teaspoons of sweetener
Fresh fruit of your choice
Spray Oil


Method
Separate an egg into two bowls – white and yolk.
Whisk the white and add 2 tsp sweetener , whisk until meringue-ish
Add some vanilla essence to the yolk and mix together
Add the yolk to the white and fold together – this is your batter.
Frylight a pan and add half of the batter, spreading it gently with the back of a spoon.
Leave alone until you can slide a fish slice underneath then carefully turn it over to cook the second side. Repeat with the other half of the mixture.


Serve with a fresh fruit of your choice on top (I used raspberries and banana) Experiment with your toppings, you could just used some fresh lemon juice and sweetener for no syns or just fresh fruit.
