  Made this with pears & blueberries, only made it for 2 so halved everything except the egg white, also reduced the sugar content after reading the other comments. Delicious, especially served with a dollop of low fat chocolate custard!

  I've made it for Valentine's dinner and it went great. After reading the comments I've made some changes: 2 large pears, 40g muscovado sugar, 25g ground coconut, 2 egg whites, and sliced almonds on top. Baked 5 small ramekins for 20 minutes and had no problem with the consistency of the topping at all.

  Nowhere near enough egg white in the topping - I just ended up with dense, sticky blobs on the top of the pears. Wish I'd read the comments before I started!! At least it was low fat...

  The pudding was delicious but the portion sizes were very small and if I made again would probably almost double the quantities as my guests asked if I had made two each (sadly I hadn't!).

  Brilliant recipe! I left out the almonds as I don't like nuts. Wasn't sure how they'd turn out but they were absolutely delicious - doesn't taste low fat at all! A real treat. Will definitely be making again soon! Only thing I'd say is, possibly increasing the topping ingredients...whisk 2 egg whites and you'll have more topping to cover the ramekins and make them nice and fluffy. :)

  Didn't work for me at all I'm afraid, the topping had a nice crust but then was very gooey underneath, it also stuck to your teeth which wasn't very pleasant. The pears mixed with the lemon juice was a horrible combination for me too, definitely wont be trying this again.

  This recipe contains zero saturated fat. Therefore it contains zero fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Also, this WILL cause the body to store body fat because there is no other use for refined sugars. This recipe would be much more nourishing if it used honey/grade b maple syrup or rapadura sugar (all of which contain vitamins and nutrients) and a generous amount of cream or butter, would slow down the absorption of sugar into the blood stream.

  The topping went very wrong as there wasn't anywhere near enough egg white and I had to add another two! Otherwise it was ok for a low fat pud, but very sweet!

  Love this and have made it many times. Usually add whatever is in the alcohol cupboard - brandy works well.
