Slimming World extra easy syns: 10.0 per portion
Serves: 12
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes

A slightly lighter version of a firm favourite.

Ingredients

  • 95 gms - Low fat Margarine
  • 175 gms(10 biscuits) - Low fat Digestive Biscuits
  • 2 - Weetabix
  • 3 - Lime Zest, finely grated
  • 150 ml - Lime Juice
  • 3 - Egg Yolks
  • 405 gms - Light Condensed Milk

Method

  1. Turn on the oven to 180°C
  2. Begin by placing the butter in a pan over the lowest heat to melt, then crush the digestive biscuits. Next place the butter-crumb mixture in the flan tin and, using your hands, press it down evenly and firmly all over the base and up the sides of the tin.
  3. Place it on the baking sheet and bake on the centre shelf of the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
  4. Place the egg yolks and lime zest in a bowl and, using an electric hand mixer, whisk them for about 2 minutes, or until the egg has thickened, then add the condensed milk and whisk for another 4 minutes.
  5. Finally, add the lime juice and give it another quick whisk, then pour the whole lot on to the baked crust and return it to the oven for another 20 minutes, or until it feels just set when you lightly press the centre with your little finger.
  6. Now remove it from the oven and, when it's completely cold, cover it with clingfilm and chill until needed. Serve cut in slices with creme fraiche and a twist of lime for decoration.
