LOWER-SUGAR CHOCOLATE & FRUIT VALENTINE TREATS: wallet-friendly

Don't let the term 'lower-sugar' and 'wallet-friendly' put you off these sumptuous Valentine's Day treats.  They will blow you away with their fantastic flavours and wonderful textures. 

What makes them so fabulous?  Not sugar, just good chocolate, dreamy textures and fresh fruit.

And guess what?  Many of them are also low in cholesterol.  

They're almost guilt free.  

Try 1 or all.  And enjoy.


SKINNY CHCOCOLATE PEPPERMINT MOUSSE : Only a little added sugar (but plenty of chocolate) and no cream unless you want it as a topping; but this healthier dessert offers deep, dark flavours.

Light & lovely but still intensely chocolatey; 
no-bake, butter-free, cream optional


TIRAMISU PUDDINGless fat and fewer calorieslayers of coffee dipped lady fingers, creamy filling & chocolate ganache; enlist the family's help and the making of it goes fast.



Lower-fat with full-fat flavour; this is quick & easy loveliness.  A store-bought pie shell saves time.  Just 5 ingredients and it works with dark chocolate if you like.




Lighter than clafoutis, this is an indulgent pudding, studded with hot succulent fruit and smelling fabulously of berries. It's more of a custard than a batter but is very low in sugar (though it has a high dairy count).  Containing just berries, cream & eggs, it's easy to put together and quick to bake.  




Easy yoghurt-based desserts with a knock-out inexpensive glaze; they look like a million pounds but cost pennies!  Includes other layered puddings.
Pineapple Muscovado Sugar lower-fat Creamy Pud


Two-tone Chocolate Orange Pud  (not as frugal as the others)
Rich layers of velvety dark and pearly white chocolate is a classy pudding made from a single base.  It's rather rich; small portions will more than satisfy.
