Simple Ingredients for a Delightful Creation
Making this incredible dessert requires just a handful of ingredients:
- 2 Quest Cookies & Cream Quest Bars
- ¼ cup almond milk
- 2 ½ cups almond flour
- ⅓ cup zero calorie sweetener
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon multi-colored sprinkles
- For Frosting: ⅓ cup heavy cream and ½ scoop Quest Vanilla Milkshake Protein Powder
Once you gather these ingredients, preheating your oven to 350°F sets the stage for this cake magic!
The Method: From Dough to Dessert
To create this masterpiece, break the Quest Bars into small pieces and combine them with almond milk in a microwave-safe bowl. After warming in the microwave, mix in eggs and melted butter. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients – almond flour, sweetener, baking soda, and salt – and then fold them into the wet mixture. Next, press your cookie dough into a greased skillet, sprinkle on the multicolored fun, and bake until golden brown!
As it cools, whisk the heavy cream until firm peaks form and blend in the vanilla protein powder, resulting in a luscious frosting to adorn your cake. Cut into 14 slices, and don’t forget to top with additional sprinkles and crushed cookies for an extra treat.
