Chocolate Orange Mousse

3 gelatin leaves (f)
2 Muller light orange yoghurts (f)
4 tbsp fromage frais (f)
2 level tbsp cocoa (4 syns)
2 tsps stevia sweetner (f) equivalent to about 4-6 tsp sugar
fresh fruit to decorate




Soak gelatin leaves in cold water for 5 minutes while boiling the kettle.
In half a mug of boiling water, dissolve the gelatin leaves, and mix in the cocoa.

In a mixing bowl, tip in the orange muller lights and the fromage frais, sugar, and then add the hot water. Beat with an electric whisk for a few minutes - it will seem to be not working, but as the gelatin starts to set it will suddenly double or triple in volume and become much thicker.

Pour into 4 small bowls and add some fruit. Keep in fridge for 20 mins to set fully.

This turned out surprisingly well for my first try! Both ND's (non-dieters) approved and mine was very tasty too!  It's quite thick, somewhere between a jelly and a mousse - I'd probably add a bit more yoghurt next time, I was just afraid of it not setting!

served 4 - 1 syn each.
Would probably work with fruit yoghurts, and leaving out the cocoa would make it syn-free!

Works with toffee muller lights too. If it fails to set, place in the fridge for 10 minutes and then try again. The gelatin only starts to set when cold, so repeat (10 mins cooling, whip) until you get mousse.
