Christmas vegan protein cake pops
For the main source of protein I used vgn_protein by which is a really great tasting protein powder. It’s neutral in taste and not overly sweet like many others are, so it works great for baking.
Vegan devils cake:
50g VGH vanilla protein powder
50g soft flour
30g cocoa powder
10g chia seeds
2.5g baking powder
2.5g bicarbonate of soda
Zest of one orange
1/2 tsp each of ground nutmeg, cinnamon, all spice, ginger
90ml pea protein milk (or just oat milk)
35ml cold pressed olive oil
90ml hot water
1. Sift the dry ingredients together
2. Mix the wet ingredients in 2 stages until you have a smooth cake batter.
3. Bake at 170c until the cake springs back and has just about retracted from the sides of the tin.
Ganache:
125ml pea protein milk (or oat milk)
100g oatly creme fraiche
125g 75% dark chocolate
10g agave
5g vanilla paste
1 orange zest
1. Put everything but the chocolate into a pan and bring to a gentle simmer.
2. Mix into the chocolate in a small bowl in 3 stages, make sure it doesn’t split (if it does then as a small amount of cold oat cream).
The pops:
1. Crumble the cake and mix in the just made ganache until you have a paste.
2. Squeeze into a weird mould you got off Amazon (or just roll into balls, probs a better idea) place the stick in with clean hands and freeze.
3. Dip into pre tempered chocolate and let set on acetate or plastic printing sheets .
If you guys make this then please let me know, I’d really love to hear about it 😄
