Hedgehog slice was one of my childhood faves, and for those who don’t know what it is: it typically consists of a simple yet scrumptious concoction of biscuits, butter, cocoa and sugar – but today I’m here to share my simple veganized version of it which happens to taste better than the original thing in my opinion.
This is by no means a super “clean” treat but it super easy to make, tastes AMAZING and pack a punch of plant protein.
4-INGREDIENT PROTEIN HEDGEHOG SLICE
(gluten-free, no-bake)
MAKES: 4 large slices
INGREDIENTS:
Base:
-
150g vegan shortbread biscuits ( I used the GF one from @woolworths_au )
-
1 1.2 scoops (60g) vegan chocolate protein powder (I used @macr0mike Nutella)
-
100g dark chocolate
-
1/2 cup peanut butter ( or any nut butter of choice)
Choc topping:
-
50g dark chocolate
-
1/2 scoop (20g) vegan chocolate protein powder
METHOD:
-
Line a small container (mine was wox 15cm) with non-stick paper
-
Chop the biscuits into small chunks.
-
Add the biscuit chunks and protein powder into a large bowl. Mix until the protein is dispersed throughout the biscuits
-
Melt the chocolate and peanut butter together until smooth. Pour this mixture into the protein biscuit mix & fold until the biscuit pieces are coated with chocolate sauce & the protein powder has all dissolved.
-
Transfer this mixture into the lined container and press down until flat & even.
-
Freeze for at least 1 hour
-
Make the topping by melting the chocolate and then stirring in the protein powder until it has dissolved.
-
Pour the choc topping immediately over the slice and return to freezer for 30 mins to set.
** Storage: in an airtight container the freezer for months or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks (if it lasts)
This is perfect for picnics and guaranteed to be loved by kids! I hope you guys try it 🙂
