Ingredients 9 items

2 cups ground Almonds or 200 g
1 cup plain flour or 140 g
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 tin Nestlé® Sweetened Condensed Milk or 397 g
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup butter or 150 g, melted
½ cup sugar or 100 g
150 g strawberry jam

How to prepare

Combine all ingredients in a bowl except for the jam. Mix well then pour the mixture into a 28cm x 24cm greased baking dish and lined with baking paper extended from both opposite sides.
Bake in a 175ºC preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until top is golden.
Allow to cool properly, spread strawberry jam on top then cut into slices and serve.

Still sweet, but sugar-free! Sugar-free jam is lower in calories as compared to normal jam; 1 tablespoon of normal "any-flavor" jam contains 50-60 calories vs 20 calories in sugar-free jam. And for diabetics, it's a great way to enjoy a sweet taste without elevating their blood sugar level!
