8 SmartPoints per serving

Serves 8

75g low-fat spread 175g stem ginger oat biscuits 2 sheets of platinum grade leaf gelatine 250g low-fat soft cheese, at room temperature 200g reduced-fat crème fraîche Grated zest of ½ lemon, plus 2 tbsp juice 2 sachets powdered stevia extract 150g fresh raspberries, to decorate MELT the spread in a small pan over a low heat. Use a little to grease an 18cm springform cake tin. Put the biscuits in a large food bag, seal, then crush into fine crumbs with a rolling pin. Combine with the remaining spread, then press firmly into the base of the prepared tin, using the back of a spoon to ensure it’s level. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour. Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes until softened. Drain, then squeeze out any excess water. Meanwhile, combine the soft cheese and crème fraîche in a bowl. Stir in the lemon zest, juice and stevia, then set aside. Melt the softened gelatine, stirring in a small pan over a low heat for about 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in a large spoonful of the soft cheese mixture until combined. Pour the contents of the pan into the remaining soft cheese mixture and stir until combined. Spoon the filling onto the biscuit base and smooth the top. Chill for a minimum of 3 hours or until firm. Carefully release from the tin and decorate with the raspberries. COOK’S TIP: Stevia is a naturally sourced sweetener that’s 250-300 times sweeter than sugar, but is calorie-free.
