Dessert is the favourite meal for many people, but when you suffer from acid reflux, the high fat and sugar content of many typical desserts can leave a less than sweet feeling afterwards! The good news is that on an acid reflux diet, there are lots of creative and delicious ways to re-imagine your favourite indulgent treats, without having the unpleasant side effects.
Classic Cheesecake
There are lots of variations of the classic cheesecake, but this recipe is for the traditional version. Creamy, soft and smooth with just a hint of tanginess, this feels utterly indulgent yet is really light and wonderful to enjoy.
You could also experiment with the recipe to add a little fresh fruit as a topping, or other flavours, such as a hint of cocoa, for a chocolately taste.
Ingredients:
– 1 small pack low fat wholegrain crackers
– 250g non-fat cream cheese or Quark

– 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
