Method / Directions

Step 1

Pancake base: in a small bowl add protein pancake and water. Gently stir the mixture until combined. Avoid overmixing the batter for fluffy results. Cook on a lightly greased pan over medium heat until bubbles appear and the pancake is lightly golden, then flip. Press the pancake into a greased 10cm springform pan.

Step 2

Apple compote: In a saucepan, cook your apple mixture until softened, adding water as needed. Top the mixture over the pancake base and press down evenly.

Step 3

Salted caramel cream: In a bowl, mix yogurt with *hydrated gelatin until combined. Top the cream over the apple compote layer. Transfer to the freezer for a quick 20-minute set or the fridge for an hour until firm.

Step 4

Almond ganache: Mix almond butter with water and sweetener to taste until you get a spreadable consistency, then top over the set cake.

Step 5

Serve: Drizzle with maple syrup before serving. Enjoy!

*hydrated Gelatin: in a small cup, mix Gelatin with water and let it sit few minutes to absorb the liquid and swell. After hydration melt it over a bowl of hot water or 20 sec in microwave
