Low Fat Recipes

  • Lemon buttermilk panna cotta with blueberries

    Unlike most custard, panna cotta is thickened with gelatin instead of eggs, meaning fewer kilojoules, less fat and easier prep. A small amount of cream gives the dessert a creamy taste, but the bulk of it is made of low-fat buttermilk. Each serve delivers 250mg of calcium - a quarter of your RDI. And the berries are rich in antioxidants.

  • Individual chocolate souffles

    These are rich enough to tame a choc craving but contain relatively little chocolate. Beaten egg whites add volume without many kilojoules - they stretch a small amount of chocolate into four serves while creating a fluffy texture. And raspberries contain hearty amounts of B and C vitamins and fibre.
