Awesome! This cheesecake recipe saves you calories without compromising the classic flavour. Now, as you can see – I am not an expert in avoiding a cracking cheese cake. Mine usually crack and that’s ok with me – I am not entering a cheese cake beauty contest – I just want to eat it. I know there is a lot of info out there to help you make the perfect cheese cake, so help is available if you don’t like the rustic home-made look. You can always cover the cracks up by decorating the well cooled cake with fresh fruit - adding another dimension. What I like best about my cheese cake is that I know that it does not contain any nasty ingredients that could jeopardise my diet goals. As you already know from my Super light dark Cocoa/ Chocolate mousse post, I don’t want any unhealthy fats in my food. So I stripped an already lower calorie no-base cheese cake recipe, where...

Great healthy biscuits you can make for when visitors turn up on short notice. This is not a newly invented recipe; my family has used it for years, they remind me of my childhood. I adapted the original composition that my mother brought home from the kindergarten she works at. The cooking lady, Mrs Meier, had made them with the kids there and everyone loved them – because the bites did not have a name they are just called “Mrs Meier biscuits” The great thing was that we were able to make them our selves (usually on Sundays – the shops were never open, so we had to make our own sweets) because of the easy measuring units: Cups – (I grew up in Germany where we do not normally use cup measured recipes) I used insist on using my favourite cup with the flowers on, -tipping and –pouring, stirring – and the best thing: tasting... Yum yum! Children love tasting – since...

Super light dark Cocoa/ Chocolate mousse

My favourite no sugar, high protein and next to no fat This is for everyone who is desperate to venture to the dark side of Chocolate treats to answer the calling of their lusting mind – this time you can be the skinny angel keeping on flying with a light conscience and tummy. A few months back, whilst being on the best way to working my way to my dream body, I got an un-ignorable craving for a chocolaty treat. In my desperation, I searched the web for a suitable recipe that would tick all the boxes in terms of no-fat and no-carb, the sugar bit I would take care of my usual way – Stevia. Because I love fluffy and creamy food textures above all, but I am a bit of a fat-phobic so most mousse recipes are out – at least when it comes to feeling good whilst feasting on a treat, the recipe from “Baking Bites” was the perfect starting point. This...

Are you staying in this New Year – need a super quick treat, NOW? Try these.... No Fat, No sugar Macaroons - two flavours in one go. Makes 12pcs (on 50mm round wafers) Prep time: 5min Bake time: 6-8min (200Celsius) I love that I can have several flavours in one batch (no need to decide what to make), this time I made Cocoa/ Oats and Rum/Coconut but feel free to adjust flavouring based on your taste; maybe you prefer Cinnamon/ Oats? The recipe below uses my preferred quantities for these different ultra fast mini treats. Wondering why it makes only 12pcs? I try not to make too large amounts of treats as I - like most people, am inclined to finish my plate – always... Main base mixture: 2 large egg whites (whipped stiff) Pinch salt 3 micro scoops of 80% Stevia powder dissolved in 2 table spoons hot water Note: getting the sweetness to the desired level is a matter of trial and error, the best thing is to start with...
