ingredients
1 tablespoon cornflour
300 ml (1/2 pint) skimmed milk
few drops of artificial liquid sweetener
300 g (10 oz) blackcurrants
1 tablespoon water
150 ml (1/4 pint) natural low-fat yogurt
few blackcurrants, to decorate
300 ml (1/2 pint) skimmed milk
few drops of artificial liquid sweetener
300 g (10 oz) blackcurrants
1 tablespoon water
150 ml (1/4 pint) natural low-fat yogurt
few blackcurrants, to decorate
method
1. Blend the cornflour with a little of the milk.
2. Heat the remaining milk and stir into the cornflour mixture, then return to the saucepan. Heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. Cook for 1 minute. Add sweetener to taste and leave to cool.
3. Trim and wash the blackcurrants, then put in a pan with the water. Cook gently until the fruit is soft. Add sweetener to taste and leave to cool. Puree the fruit in a blender or rub through a sieve.
4. Add the fruit puree and yogurt to the sauce and whisk until well blended. Spoon into four individual serving dishes and decorate with blackcurrants. Chill before serving.
If possible, use a blender to puree the blackcurrants rather than rubbing the fruit through a sieve as this reduces the fibre content which is mostly in the seeds.
