Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups lingonberries
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.5 cup unsweetened protein powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Rinse the lingonberries under cold running water and drain them well.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the rinsed lingonberries and 0.5 cup of water. Stir occasionally, allowing the berries to break down and release their juices. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the honey and protein powder until fully dissolved and integrated with the lingonberry mixture.
Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt to the saucepan, mixing well to combine the flavors evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the lingonberry mixture while continuously stirring to prevent lumps.
Continue to cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This should take another 3-5 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving or transferring to a container for storage.
Serve the high protein lingonberry sauce warm or chilled. It's excellent as a topping for pancakes, yogurt, or even as a condiment for savory dishes.
