I have found the most delicious dessert for UNDER 200 calories. . . A low fat Fudge Brownie

Fudge Brownies

Ingredients

1 cup Unsweetened Apple Puree
1/2 cup Cocoa
3/4 cup Self Raising Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
3/4 cup Almonds (roughly chopped)
4 scoops Reduced Fat Ice Cream

Raspberry Sauce

100g Raspberries
1 1/2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Caster Sugar

Weight Loss RecipeMethod

1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees celsius. Spray 20 x 20cm dish with low fat cooking oil.

2. Put apple puree in a bowl. Sift in cocoa, flour and baking soda. Add sugar and salt.

3. Mix until ingredients are only JUST combined. Over mixing will make brownies tough.

4. Gently fold in chocolate chips and almonds.

5. Pour mixture into prepared dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes - or until centre feels set.

6. Cool in the dish for 10 to 15 minutes before taking out of the dish. Cut into 16 squares.

7. Process raspberries, juice and sugar in a blender until smooth. Strain through a sieve.

8. Serve one brownie per person with 1 scoop of ice cream and raspberry sauce.
