Directions

  1. 1. To prepare the filling, add 260 ml almond milk to a saucepan over medium heat. Once it begins to boil, add the semolina, honey, vanilla extract, stevia, and salt.
  2. 2. Whisk continuously until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
  3. 3. If using the optional ingredients, mix the protein powder with 50 ml almond milk. Add it to the filling and stir until fully incorporated.
  4. 4. In a bowl with a larger diameter than the rice paper sheets, whisk together the egg, 60 ml almond milk, vanilla extract, and stevia.
  5. 5. Dip four rice paper sheets, one at a time, into the mixture for 5–10 seconds. Arrange them in a greased 18 × 12 cm baking dish, placing one along each side and allowing the edges to overhang.
  6. 6. Transfer the filling to the dish and spread it evenly.
  7. 7. Dip the final rice paper sheet into the mixture and place it over the filling.
  8. 8. Fold the overhanging rice paper sheets over the filling to seal the bougatsa. Optionally, spray the top with cooking spray.
  9. 9. Bake at 175°C for 20–25 minutes or until the crust is crispy.
  10. 10. Allow it to cool, then serve with powdered sweetener or icing sugar.
