Toasted Walnut Crumb
- ⅓ cup walnut pieces roughly chopped
- 1½ tsp tapioca flour or cornflour
- ½ tsp rice bran oil
- ½ tsp honey
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

- ¾ cup low-fat plain yoghurt

- ⅓ cup honey warmed until liquid then cooled
- 1 egg large
- 1 egg white

- In a food processor, pulse biscuits into fine crumbs, add oil and pulse again. Place crumbs into prepared slice tin, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon. Bake for 4-5 minutes or until loghtly golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine all the walnut crumb infgredients, using your hands to coat walnuts evenly. Transfer to an oven tray and bake 6-8 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from oven and set aside to cool before transferring to a glass jar.
- In the cleaned processor, blend cottage cheese until smooth. Add remaining filling ingredients and pulse until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides once or twice. Pour over base and cook for 30-35 minutes or until set but slightly wobbly in the centre when gently shaken. Remove from oven and set aside to cool, then refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight until cold and set.
- Once set, trim edges, slice into 3cm squares, scatter tops with toasted walnut crumb and serve.

Although I’m not a qualified chef I do like to pretend I’m on Master Chef. I source the recipes from the stated source (not sauce) and make them taking the photo of the meal I produce for myself.
