Remember that sweet, fruity coconut and jam sponge you used to have as part of your school dinner? With our slimming-friendly take on this classic pudding, even grown-ups can enjoy it all over again! By swapping half the sugar for sweetener, this recipe brings all of the flavour without the extra calories. You'll still get that raspberry, coconutty hit and it's perfect when served with creamy custard or alongside a cuppa for an afternoon pick-me-up.

Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

Hubby doesn't like coconut...I used crumbled flake bar on his half.

Reduce the calories even further!

I used Good Good Sweet Rasperry Jam (27cal per 100g) and mixed it with a tbsp of NKD Granulated Erythritol

Sweet & Scrummy

Delicious on its own as a little sweet snack, amazing with a spot of custard!!

So quick to throw the ingredients together

I'm going to try making it with cherry preserve and flaked almonds on top....cherry bakewell style🍒. Watch this space P0N 👀 Used a round cake tin as don't have a square one, still perfect.

I buy the square foil containers, ideal size

I made 3 at a time. Slice and put in the freezer. Ready to take out after your Sunday roast & just add custard.. yummy

12 Small Cupcakes

It is just as easy to make small cupcakes instead of the square.
