Here is another variation of my favorite express dessert! It’s super easy and packed with protein. This recipe is perfect for those moments when you crave a sweet treat but want to keep it healthy and protein-rich. The crust is made with roasted buckwheat and gluten-free oats, while the cream is flavored with cookie & cream protein powder. It's a no-bake dessert that comes together quickly and is absolutely delicious!

Mix the roasted buckwheat, oats, salt, and cinnamon in a food processor until they form a floury consistency.
Add the dates and water, then continue to blitz the ingredients until they form a dough.
Line a small cake tin with a removable base with parchment paper and press the dough into the base.
Set the crust aside.
Mix the protein powder and cornstarch together in a bowl.
Very slowly add water or plant-based milk to the dry ingredients until you reach the desired creamy consistency.
Pour the cream onto the prepared crust.
Top the cream layer with cacao nibs, chocolate chips, or other desired toppings.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour for the best result.
Use a removable base cake tin for easy removal of the pie.
Adjust the water or plant-based milk quantity slowly to avoid making the cream too runny.
Refrigerating for longer than an hour will enhance the flavors and texture.
Experiment with different protein powder flavors to customize the pie.
Can I use regular oats instead of gluten-free oats?
Yes, you can use regular oats if you don't need the recipe to be gluten-free.
What type of plant-based milk works best?
Any plant-based milk, such as almond, soy, or oat milk, works well for this recipe.
Can I use a different flavor of protein powder?
Absolutely! Feel free to use your favorite protein powder flavor to customize the taste.
How long can I store the pie?
You can store the pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Can I make this pie without a food processor?
Yes, you can manually crush the ingredients using a rolling pin or mortar and pestle, but it may take more time and effort.
