  • Cake
    Preheat oven to 350°F.

    In a medium mixing bowl, add the powdered Quest Bar®, Protein Powder, almond flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
    Add almond milk, vanilla extract, and red food colouring. Whisk until completely combined, and dark red in color.

    Pour in batter. Bake 18 to 20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

    Add crumbled cake to frosting, and mix well. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in freezer for 20 minutes.
    Remove from freezer. Using hands, roll into 18 walnut-sized balls.
    Return to freezer for 10 minutes.
    Break chocolate into small pieces. Fill the bottom of a double boiler with water and place on low heat. Place chocolate in top of double boiler over hot (not boiling) water, and melt while stirring. Do not cover.

    Carefully submerge each ball into melted chocolate. Tap stick on edge of bowl several times to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
