• Although this recipe contains high GI ingredients such as the boudoir biscuits, the
syrup and the cherries and the instant pudding- the beans, cottage cheese and yogurt
offset these and the end result is allow GI Pudding
• This makes a good choice of dessert for diabetics and hypoglycemic, despite the
sugar in it
• Beating or processing for too long can raise the GI – therefore not more than 1-2
mins should be spent on any single process-with the total time not exceeding 5 mins.
