Cherry Clafoutis

Posted on by

I’m having a cherry “thing” at the moment.


Serves 2

100g Morello cherries, drained
1 egg white
1 egg
15g vanilla whey protein
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp Xylitol
1 tbs skim milk
40g ricotta
1 tbs buckwheat flour (or substitute plain flour)

Divide cherries between two small ovenproof ramekins. Place egg, egg white, vanilla, milk, and ricotta into a bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Add whey and buckwheat flour and beat till well combined. Pour over the cherries. Place the ramekins in a cake tin and add boiling water to a third of the way up the sides of the ramekins. Bake at 160C for about 20 minutes or until set.

Cherry ripe pudding

Posted on by

This is similar to the choc-raspberry cheesecake pudding. I just wanted to experiment with some different flavours.

Serves 1

100g creamed cottage cheese*
1/2 serve of chocolate whey protein (around 15g)
1/2 sachet of Jarrah Chocolatte Extreme Chocolate
1 and a half tsp dessicated coconut
45g Morello cherries, drained

Mix everything together and eat.

*You can use ricotta or half ricotta and half cottage cheese if you prefer.

Cherry Ripe souffle

Posted on by

Visually, this turned out a flop, but taste-wise, it was AWESOME. I need to perfect the cooking-with-real-chocolate part….

Serves 1

40g Morello cherries (those are the sour ones in the great big jars, that come from Czechoslavakia. Or Poland. Or somewhere)
170g tub of Dairy Farmers Thick & Creamy Light Cherry Cheesecake yoghurt
2 tsp dessicated coconut
20g chocolate whey
1/2 tsp cocoa
20g Lindt 85% chocolate
2 egg whites

Beat the egg whites till stiff and set aside. In one bowl, place half the yoghurt, half the coconut and the cherries. In a second bowl, mix together the rest of the yoghurt and coconut with the whey and cocoa. Melt the chocolate and stir through the yoghurt/whey mixture. Carefully fold in the egg whites – do this before the chocolate starts to cool and the mixture thickens.

Cook the souffle omelette in the usual way. Use plenty of cooking spray – mine stuck and that really spoiled the effect. *pouts*

Turn out onto a plate and top with the yoghurt/cherry mix before folding over, omelette-style. You can serve with more cherries, and some grated chocolate and extra coconut if you like.
