Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan). Set out 2 individual ramekins (180ml each).
2
Put the halved dried apricots in a small pan with the water, orange zest and juice, and cardamom. Simmer gently for 4-5 minutes until the apricots are plump and the liquid has mostly reduced to a light syrup.
3
Stir the honey through the warm apricots, then divide the fruit and syrup evenly between the two ramekins.
4
In a bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, whey protein isolate and egg white together until completely smooth and lump-free.
5
Spoon the yogurt-protein mixture over the apricots in each ramekin, smoothing the tops level.
6
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, until the tops are just set with a slight wobble in the centre and lightly golden at the edges.
7
Remove from the oven and scatter the chopped walnuts over the top of each dish while still warm.
8
Rest for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving, or chill for a firmer set.
