Christmas Mince Pie Tarts | Slimming World Recipes
Delicious and easy to make Slimming World Christmas mince pie tarts. Low in syns and easy to make with all of the family.
Here I am with another Christmas theme recipe.. after all it is nearly Christmas.. as if you didn’t know already right?
One of my biggest loves at Christmas is mince pies.. I absolutely cannot do without them so I gave these low Syn Slimming World alternatives a try and they are delicious.
Get the kids involved with this recipe as they are really fun and easy to make.. and delicious to devour too!
I highly recommend using mini foil making cases to create the pies or one of these mini pie trays from Amazon.
To keep the Syn content low we are using a star shape to create the pie topping and I can highly recommend this collection of star cutters which offer a number of sizes for creating a range of recipes. Including my DELICIOUS Christmas biscuits.
The whole recipe is worth 96 Syns making each pie 4 Syns each. If you wish to make larger or smaller pies feel free to divide the syns accordingly.

Which low fat spread do you ladies use in the UK?
I use Tesco own brand – Butter Me Up Light and find it tastes reasonably good as a spread and works well for low fat baking too. Good luck ?
Thank you.
I was going to ask the same thing
