People mightn't be able to get to Sligo's Baker Boys Cafe at the moment, so owner Jane Lambert has shared this easy recipe for making Chocolate Bircher with caramel crack to make at home. 

Ingredients

Serves 1 portion

250g (8,8oz) almond milk

1 ripe banana, roughly chopped

1⁄2 tbsp cocoa powder (over 70% cocoa)

10g (0,3oz) dark chocolate (over 70% cocoa) 

75g (2,65oz) oats

20g (0,70oz) dates, chopped

15g (0,70oz.) brown sugar

Method

1. Place all the ingredients apart from oats in a blender and blitz until smooth.

2. Pour the mixture over the oats and stir well.

3. Leave to soak in a container in the fridge for a minimum 6hr. (Add more almond milk if needed).

4. Pour the mixture into a wide shallow serving bowl, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top. Place under a hot grill to melt the sugar ‘creme brulee style’ or even better if you have a blow torch you can melt the sugar with an open flame.

5. Rest until sugar has hardened.

6. Finished it with fresh fruit.

7. Tap the top to ‘crack’ into it.
