A classic dessert for the colder months has got to be fruit crumble. This version made with pears roasted with ginger, cinnamon and orange is sweet and sticky with a crispy almond & oat crumble. Try this vegan pear crumble with the accompanying vegan protein custard – it’s so quick and easy to make as it’s thickened with cornflour and the protein powder provides sweetness and that heavenly vanilla flavour.

    In a small bowl, combine the ground almonds, oats, erythritol and coconut oil. Rub the coconut oil into the dry ingredients until no large chunks of oil remain and the mixture is crumbly. Spread out on a tray and bake for 5-8 minutes, stirring halfway through the cook time.

    Meanwhile, make the custard: In a small pot, whisk together the protein powder, cornstarch, salt and turmeric. Add the soy milk a little at a time, whisking well between additions to get a lump-free mixture. Place over a medium-low heat on the stove and stir with the whisk until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and set aside.
