These bites are a delicious after-dinner treat, especially when topped with lots of grated dark chocolate. Really easy to make and they store well in the fridge for up to a week, not that ours ever last that long!

Line a baking dish or slice tray (approx. 26 x 16cm) with plastic wrap. 1. Place 200ml of water and sweetener in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until dissolved. 2. Place remaining 200ml water in a cup and stir through gelatin to bloom (ie. gelatin will become firm). 3. Add bloomed gelatin to saucepan and keep stirring with a spatula or whisk until dissolved (should be just before boiling point). 4. Pour hot mixture into a mixmaster and blend on high speed until mixture becomes white, thickened and glossy. Use whisk attachment if possible for a fast result otherwise normal beaters will work, just takes a few minutes longer to thicken. 5. Fold through vanilla essence and optional extras eg. collagen powder, MCT powder. 6. Pour mixture into lined baking tray and place in fridge for 10 minutes until firm. Remove and slice into squares. 7. Place a small dollop of sugar-free jam on top of each piece and grate dark chocolate over the top. 8. Store in airtight container in fridge.
