I popped up the above pic on my instagram the other evening of an extremely quick, simple and easy pud causing my email inbox went, nuts! I'm not sure whether it was due to the hashtagging of 'sugarfree' but it drew attention and therefore I will share the recipe with you.
Made with all natural ingredients this is pretty much as sweet as it gets without using the bad stuff. This is a slightly adapted recipe to one I found in a magazine.
You will need to serve 4/6ppl:
Butter, for greasing
450g cherries, pitted (I found some frozen ones in Waitrose)
50g spelt flour
50g ground almonds
Pinch of salt
2 medium eggs, beaten
200ml full-fat milk
100ml double cream
75ml maple syrup
half tsp almond extract (to taste)
Pre-heat your oven to 180...
Get yourself a round baking dish of approx 24cm across and make sure it's not too deep (for ease of serving!)- grease with butter.
In a large bowl, Mix together your flour and almonds adding a pinch of salt. Whisk in the eggs, milk, cream, syrup and almond extract. Pour this over your cherries.
Bake in the oven for 30 mins or until golden brown and raised slightly.
Serve with warmed cream and/or ice cream - delicious even with no sugar and ridiculously easy!
