Chocolate And Pear Fondant Cakes
- 1 cup greek yogurt 8 ? oz, or coconut cream for for dairy-free option
- 7/8 cup whey protein powder 100%, or protein powder of choice - use plant-sourced protein such as pea protein for dairy-free option
- 9/16 cup cacao
- 3 7/8 tablespoons almond butter or preferred nut or seed butter
- 7/8 cup pear 5 ? oz peeled, and cubed, - softened for a couple of minutes in a covered dish in the microwave or saucepan
- 3 13/16 tablespoons sweetener 1? - 2? oz Natvia, or preferred, according to taste.
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil - easily done for about 30 secs in microwave.
- flaked almonds or Slivered, to garnish
- Preheat oven to 230u0b0C/ 446u0b0F
- Mix all ingredients together (I used a food processor on medium speed for about 20secs)
- Pour mixture into individual silicone muffin pans or ceramic dishes if you are happy to serve as little individual puddings (not so great for take-away!)
- Bake 10 - 15 minutes at 230 u0b0C/ 446u0b0F
- Serve warm with melted chocolate/coconut oil mix poured over the top OR allow the chocolate mix to cool to room temperature and whisk until a spreadable consistency is achieved and ice the cakes as you would any cupcake. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt, coconut cream or even cream(!) to your icing when whisking for a softer smoother icing - nicer to bit into when cold!
- Garnish with almonds if desired.
