Ingredients
For the apricots
- 3 apricot halves (I use tinned ones here but fresh are fine too)
For the Chantilly-style yoghurt
- 3 tbsp of plain plant-based yoghurt – Greek-style works best here
- 1 tbsp of vanilla bean paste (or any vanilla flavouring. If using pods, scrape the seeds out of one half for this)
For the frangipane crumble
- Equal quantities (12g of each or roughly 1 tablespoon) of flour (use gluten-free if needed), ground almonds, diced cold plant butter and golden caster sugar (if you don’t have this, you can use granulated, caster or demerara)
- 1-2 tsp of almond essence (you can add more once the crumble is cooked, to your taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
- Make the crumble by mixing all the ingredients together then putting in a dish that allows it to be spread out. Cook in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until nicely browned.
- Lightly oil a griddle pan and put on the stovetop on a medium heat until hot.
- Add the apricot halves, stone side facing down and keep on there until you get a nice set of charred lines. Flip over and lightly toast on the other side, then take off the heat and leave to cool.
- Make the Chantilly-style yoghurt by mixing the yoghurt with the vanilla.
- Assemble by making a large circle of the yoghurt, then crumble, followed by the apricots. If you’re using tinned apricots, drizzle some of the tin juice over the top. I add lavender flowers to decorate.

Did you know that the Vegan Recipe Club is run by Viva!, and that we are a charity?
We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.
Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference! Please share our details with your friends and loved ones too, as every donation enables us to keep fighting for change.
