Ingredients
- 75g-100g Low Fat Cottage Cheese
- 1 Navel Orange
- 1 TF Dark Chocolate (or Milk)
- 1 Egg White
- 1 Egg Yolk well beaten
- 1 Tablespoon of TF Fibre
- 1/2 Teaspoon of Cream of Tartar (or vinegar if you don’t have COT)
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 Tablespoons of Splenda
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Method
- Cut the chocolate in half, chopping one half into chocolate chips and the other half to be melted.
- Zest the Orange, until you have 1 Tablespoon.
- Cut the orange in half, juicing one half and slicing the other half, removing all seeds.
- Beat the egg white until frothy, then add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
- In separate bowl, mix together the egg yolk, cottage cheese, choc chips, 2 teaspoons of orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon of orange zest, fibre and half the sweetener.
- Combine the two mixtures and stir until just combined. The batter should be a thick consistency, if too watery, add 2 teaspoons more fibre.
- Add one teaspoon of olive oil to a large non stick fry pan and place on low heat. Heat oil and spread over pan evenly.
- Once the oil has heated, drop heaped tablespoons of batter on the surface, spreading each to make a thin pikelet. Ensure the pikelets are not touching.
- Cook until one side has browned, then turn over to the other side very gently and cook until this side has browned. Repeat until all the batter is cooked.
- While the cottage pikelets are cooking, in a small saucepan add the remaining orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon of orange zest, 1.5 tablespoons of sweetener, orange slices and 1/4 cup of water, then stir to combine. Place on low to moderate heat and heat stirring continuously until syrup thickens.
