Baked Oreo Cheesecake - Slimming Eats Recipe That I Swear By!

We all have a sweet tooth every now and again and with slimming world sometimes you deprive yourself because your worried about the syns or whether it's worth the syns!

This cheesecake that I found on www.slimmingeats.com is always in my fridge as a quick fix if I want something sweet, and for only 8 Syns a slice it's well within your daily allowance.


I personally (depending how much of a sweet tooth I have) can get this into 16 slices which makes it only 3 syns a slice!!!!



Baked Oreo Cheesecake
Slimming Eats Recipe
Serves 8
Green – 6 syns per slice
Extra Easy – 6 syns per slice
Original – 6 syns per slice
If you would prefer a bigger slice of this, cutting the cheesecake into 6, while work out as 8 syns a slice.
You could try replacing the sugar with sweetener if you prefer to bring the syns right down, but I can’t guarantee the flavour or quality of the cheesecake to be the same.

Ingredients

• 375g of Quark
• 300g of fat free cottage cheese (blended till smooth)
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup (100g) of sugar (19.5 syns)
• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (cornflour) (1.5 syns)
• vanilla pod
• 1 tsp of vanilla essence
• little zest from a fresh lemon
• 11 Oreo cookies (26 syns)

Method
Preheat oven to 180c or 350f (gas mark 4)
Grease a spring form pan.
Chop 10 Oreo’s into quarters and roughly line the bottom of the spring form pan with the Oreo pieces.

Separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs.
Scrap the seeds from the vanilla pod and add to a large bowl along with the quark, cottage cheese, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, little zest from a lemon and the cornstarch.

Whisk until all ingredients are well combined

In another bowl whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks.

Fold this into the rest of the mixture.

Pour this on top of the Oreo pieces in the springform pan and gently tap the sides, so the mixture is evenly distributed in the pan

Place in the oven and bake for approx 35 mins. When cooked the cheesecake will be slightly golden around the edges. You can gently place a skewer in the centre just to make sure the middle is not too wet still.
Leave the  cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar.
Once cooled you can then place in the fridge to chill before slicing.
Once ready to serve. Get the remaining Oreo cookie and crush roughly with a knife and sprinkle this on the top.

Sweet Potato, Black Bean & Egg White Breakfast Burrito - 3 SYNS

So I've decided after a low loss of 0.5 last night (had a lot of naughtiness like Costa coffee's) decided I'm going to either cut carbs altogether or only have a few early morning to have the day to burn them!

 

INGREDIENTS
•1 BFREE Wrap (HEB)
•1 medium sweet potatoes
•Handful of black beans, rinsed and drained
•1/4 teaspoon cumin
•1/4 teaspoon chili powder
•few dashes of red pepper flakes, if desired
•2 large egg whites
•25g avocado, diced (2.5 syns)
•40g reduced fat shredded cheese (HEA)
•Enchilada sauce*

INSTRUCTIONS
1.Cook sweet potato: Pierce sweet potato with fork a few times. Place in microwave and microwave on high for 4-6 minutes or until cooked. This may take up to 10 minutes depending on how thick your sweet potato is. Once sweet potato is cooked, remove the skin and place potato in a medium bowl. Mash with a fork; set aside.

2.In a separate large bowl, add black beans, cumin, chili powder and red pepper flakes if desired. Stir to combine then set aside.

3.In a separate medium bowl, beat egg whites together. Spray a pan with frylight cooking spray and place over medium-low heat. Add in egg whites and cook. Fold every few minutes to get fluffy eggs. Once cooked, remove from heat.

4.To assemble burritos, I warm my wrap for 30-50 secs in the microwave; it makes them easier to roll. Lay out warm wrap and evenly distribute and spread mashed sweet potato on each. Evenly distribute egg whites, diced avocado, black beans, and shredded cheese on each tortilla. Next drizzle about tablespoon of enchilada sauce in each. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Tuck ends in, then roll up wraps. To warm up: Place on baking sheet in oven at 300 degrees for 5-10 minutes or simply microwave them for a minute or two. You can serve with sour cream, greek yogurt, salsa, or hot sauce (count the syns). 

Makes 1 wra.

*Enchilada Sauce:

Ingredients
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 Tbsp finely grated onion
3 cups passata

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (or white/red wine vinegar)
3 Tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cocoa powder (1/2 syn)
1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, makes it quite spicy!)
1 tsp salt, or to taste
3/4 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions
Heat a pan, I used spray oil. Add in garlic and onion and saute for 2 minutes.Stir in remaining ingredients and bring mixture just to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
