With a heavenly mix of tangy raspberries and rich chocolate, these tasty custards are the perfect treat to top off your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even better, these indulgent-tasting treats fit perfectly into the Slimming World plan! If we\u2019ve got your sweet tooth tingling, you can whip up a batch in no time! Here\u2019s the recipe\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Slimming World chocolate and raspberry custards<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>serves 4<br>4\u00bd Swips per serving<br>ready in 15 minutes, plus chilling<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What you need:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 level tbsp cocoa powder, reserving a large pinch to decorate<br>2 level tbsp cornflour<br>3 level tbsp sweetener granules <br>5 large egg yolks<br>400ml skimmed milk<br>\u00bd tsp vanilla extract<br>20g plain chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), roughly chopped<br>250g fresh raspberries, reserving some to decorate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What you do:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Put the cocoa, cornflour and sweetener in a large mixing bowl, then stir in the egg yolks using a fork until smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;2. Using a hand whisk, slowly whisk in the milk, then pour the mixture into a small non-stick saucepan. Place over a medium heat and stir continuously until thickened (it should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Reduce the heat to low, then add the vanilla extract and chocolate, and stir until the chocolate has melted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Tip the raspberries into 4 x 125ml dessert glasses or ramekins and divide over the chocolate custard. Cover loosely with cling film. Leave to cool, then chill for 2 hours, or until set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Remove the cling film and decorate the custards with the remaining raspberries. &nbsp; Evenly dust with the reserved cocoa and serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Top tip: frozen raspberries taste just as nice as fresh, and they\u2019ll last longer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More slimming-friendly puds to tr<\/strong>y<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a chocolate lover or fancy something fruity and refreshing, we\u2019ve got lots of lightened up desserts to satisfy your sweet-tooth, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/chocolate-vanilla-cheesecake\">Chocolate vanilla cheesecake<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/apple-betty\">Apple betty<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/banoffee-pie\">Banoffee pie<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/recipes\/eton-mess\">Eton mess<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n    <section class=\"block-embedded-widget-area alignwide\">\n        \t\t\t<section id=\"mm-newsletter-widget-3\" class=\"widget mm-newsletter-widget\">\t\n\t\t<div id=\"mm-newsletter-widget\" class=\"mm-newsletter-widget-form\" data-thanks_page=\"0\" data-thanks_page_url=\"\" data-thanks_page_new_window=\"0\">\n            <div class=\"wrapper\">\n                <aside>\n                    <header>\n                        <h2>Free 7-day eating plan<\/h4>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <p>You&#8217;ll also get our email newsletter with recipes, inspiration and exciting special offers<\/p>\n                <\/aside>\n\n                <div class=\"form-wrapper\">\n                    <form action=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1415\" method=\"post\" id=\"newsletter-form\">\n\n                        <fieldset>\n                            <label class=\"input-label\">First name<\/label>\n                            <input type=\"text\" name=\"firstName\" placeholder=\"Enter your first name\" title=\"Enter your first name\" required>\n                        <\/fieldset>\n\n                        <fieldset>\n                            <label class=\"input-label\">Email address<\/label>\n                            <input type=\"email\" name=\"email\" placeholder=\"Enter your email address\" title=\"Enter your email address\" required>\n                        <\/fieldset>\n\n                        <fieldset>\n                                                            <div class=\"input-radio\">\n                                    <input id=\"classic-menu\" class=\"classic-menu\" type=\"radio\" name=\"menuType\" value=\"Classic\" checked>\n                                    <label for=\"classic-menu\">\n                                        I&#8217;d like the classic menu                                    <\/label>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                                                        <div class=\"input-radio\">\n                                    <input id=\"vegetarian-menu\" class=\"vegetarian-menu\" type=\"radio\" name=\"menuType\" value=\"Vegetarian\">\n                                    <label for=\"vegetarian-menu\">\n                                        I&#8217;d like the vegetarian menu                                    <\/label>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                                                        <div class=\"input-radio\">\n                                    <input id=\"vegan-menu\" class=\"vegan-menu\" type=\"radio\" name=\"menuType\" value=\"Vegan\">\n                                    <label for=\"vegan-menu\">\n                                        I&#8217;d like the vegan menu                                    <\/label>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                    <\/fieldset>\n\n                        <div class=\"button-wrapper\">\n                            <div class=\"g-recaptcha\" data-sitekey=\"6LdLR7cZAAAAAFDxo_6diZKq91dLeqE45o9GkrNL\" data-theme=\"light\" data-size=\"normal\"><\/div>\n                            <button class=\"submit is-secondary animation-light-background\" type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\">Sign me up<\/button>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/form>\n\n                    <p class=\"message-success\">Thank you for signing up.
