Posted by This recipe lightens up Jaffa Cakes so you can indulge in a slimming-friendly version whether you are calorie counting, or following a plan like Weight Watchers.
Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 4 tbsp Granulated Sweetener
- 50 g Self Raising Flour
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ Sachet of Sugar Free Orange Jelly Crystals
- 10 g Dark Chocolate
- Low Calorie Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Make up the Orange Jelly using 1/4 pint of boiling water.
- Pour the jelly equally into 12 round silicone moulds, then pop it into the fridge to set.
- While you’re waiting for the jelly to set whisk the eggs and sweetener in a clean bowl and whisk until you reach the ‘ribbon stage’. This is when the mixture has thickened so that when you lift the whisk out it leaves a trail on the surface for a second. You will probably need an electric whisk for this step.
- Fold the sifted flour and vanilla extract into the egg and sweetener mix.
- Spray 12 muffin moulds with some low calorie cooking spray and divide the sponge mix equally between them.
- Bake at 180°C for 10 minutes, until the sponges are a light golden colour.
- When they are cool carefully remove the sponges from the muffin tin – a tablespoon can help with this step! Place the set jelly on top of the sponges.
- Carefully melt the chocolate in the microwave – it doesn’t take long so keep checking on it! Once melted transfer the chocolate into a disposable piping bag and snip a very small hole in the end.
- Drizzle the chocolate evenly over the Jaffa Cakes and allow to set.
