Following on from the New Year trend of diet threads, I was just wondering if people would be interested in exchanging recipe ideas on here, as there are only so many jacket potatoes you can eat before you go mad.
They need to be quick to make (ie after work), and contain things that are actually accessible...not things that you'd need a dictionary to pronounce!
If you have any suggestions, post them below =) |

My chocolate mousse, based on a recipe from a cookbook, fills a 1.5L rectangular glass dish with sufficient room for a good layer of whipped cream.
150g of 50% chocolate
150g of 70% chocolate
A good knob of butter
Full fat milk
Liqueur such as Kalua, Tia Maria or Grand Mariner
3 Large eggs, separated
Whipped cream (about 500ml unwhipped)
Cocoa powder for dusting
A small cup of very sweet strong coffee, cooled
1. Break up chocolate and melt over a water bath with butter and milk, mix well until homogeneous. Remove from water bath and allow to cool slightly. Stir occasionally.
2. Mix the egg yokes with the coffee syrup and beat well.
3. Make sure the chocolate is sufficiently cooled before adding the egg yoke and coffee mixture to it through a sieve, mix until homogeneous.
4. Add liqueur of your choice and mix until homogeneous.
5. Beat the egg whites until it forms stiff peaks.
6. Fold the egg white into the chocolate mixture, continue to fold until homogeneous.
7. Pour into a glass dish and refrigerate overnight.
8. Whip the cream, and spread over the hardened mousse. Dust with cocoa powder.
Enjoy.

200g Mascarpone cheese
Sugar
3 large eggs, separated
A small cup of very sweet strong coffee, cooled
Sponge fingers
Liqueur of your choice, like Kalua, Tia Maria, Grand Marnier
1. Beat the egg yokes with about 5 teaspoonsful of sugar until the sugar dissolves.
2. Add the cheese to the egg yoke mixture and beat until homogeneous.
3. In a small flat dish/container, pour in the coffee syrup and add a glug of liqueur.
4. Get your dish ready, open a packet of sponge fingers, place the coffee/liqueur mixture near the dish etc...
5. Whip the egg whites until stiff
6. Fold the egg white into the cheese mixture, and continue to fold until homogeneous.
7. Dip sponge finger into coffee/liqueur mixture one at a time, and line the bottom of the glass dish.
8. Sponge over a layer of cheese/egg white mixture over the sponge fingers.
9. Repeat with another layer of sponge fingers, then another layer of cheese/egg white mixture.

Sift flour
Place water and butter into a pan and gently heat until butter has melted
bring to the boil then remove from the heat and immediately add all the flour, beating well until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and forms a ball
Leave to cool slightly
Beat in enough of the eggs gradually until a soft dropping consistency has been obtained
Transfer to a piping bag with a 1cm/ ½ inch plain nozzle and pipe small balls onto the baking sheet (you can use a spoon if no piping bag but they will be a little mis-shaped when cooked)
Bake in the pre heated oven for 25 mins
Remove from oven and pierce each ball with a skewer or tip of a sharp knife to allow steam to escape
Allow to cool
When cold split the balls with a sharp knife
FOR THE SAUCE
50g/2oz Dark chocolate
150ml double cream
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave
Remove and immediately add the cream gradually, stirring constantly
THE FILLING
Scoop a teaspoon of Baileys ice cream (or ice cream of your choice) into the centre of each ball
Stack on a serving plate in a tower or into individual bowls and pour over the chocolate sauce |
