Ingredients
200ml skimmed milk
4 level tbsp cocoa powder, plus 1 tsp to dust
2 tsp coffee granules
60g low fat spread
10 reduced fat digestive biscuits
10 sheets of leaf gelatine
250g quark
3 x 175g pots Muller Light Vanilla yogurt (or any free vanilla yogurt)
4 tbsp sweetener
5g milk chocolate, grated, to decorate
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge.
Method
Preheat the oven to 190C, gas 5 and line an 18cm springform tin with non-stick baking parchment.
Melt the spread in a pan over a low heat.
Meanwhile, put the biscuits in a sealable food bag, bash into fine crumbs and tip into a bowl. Pour in the melted spread, stir well and spoon the mixture into the prepared tin to cover the base, pressing down evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes then set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, put the gelatine sheets into a small bowl, cover with cold water and leave to soften for 5 minutes.
Mix the milk, cocoa powder and coffee granules in a jug and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes. Squeeze the excess liquid from the gelatine sheets, add the sheets to the milk and whisk until they have dissolved.
Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
Whisk the quark, yogurt, sweetener and cooled milk using a hand whisk and pour on to the biscuit base. Chill for 4 hours or until set.
Release the pie from the tin and put the pie, still on its base if necessary, on a serving plate. Sprinkle over the grated chocolate and extra cocoa and slice to serve.

Choose your symptoms
Foods and drinks that pose a risk to your weight loss, those that are high in fat or sugar, and alcohol can be consumed as a carefully calculated sin. We recommend that you plan between 5 and 15 syn in your day (see the bottom of the next page for some ideas).
Make simple changes
Choose lean meat and remove visible fat to protect against weight loss: cut white bits off bacon and skin off poultry. Use a low-fat cooking spray instead of fat or oil, replace sugar with sweetener and cream and crème fraîche with non-fat yoghurt or fresh cheese.
