Hello lovelies, I am excited to finally share a recipe with you again after a long break which I had to take out of personal and health-related reasons.

Thankfully, in the past few months, I have finally revived my joy and creativity for creating simple and delicious vegan and gluten-free recipes. My sincere apologies to everyone that was waiting for a reply to a message or comment. I’m working on it.

This new recipe came to be due to a slight change in my diet. I am trying to incorporate more protein. In order to keep my Hashimotos autoimmune disease in check (which I have been successful with for over 4 years now), I continue to avoid gluten and eat grains only in small amounts. This reduces the selection of plant-based protein (those who have to avoid gluten know how often it is used in plant-based products).

So now I’m playing around with new recipe ideas that contain additional pea protein, among other things. Pea protein is so versatile – in both sweet and savory dishes. And I really enjoy the richness that it adds to meals that otherwise might be lacking in protein.

Here is the first of my new tested and already widely praised recipes: Vanilla Protein Pudding. It is a kind of combination between Italian Panna Cotta and a classic cheesecake.

In my opinion, the most delicious way to enjoy these protein puddings is with a berry sauce. For that, I simply heat up a cup of berries in a small pot until they become a sort of compote. Delicious!

Prep Time 20 minutes minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes minutes

Setting and cooling time 2 hours hours

Servings 6

Equipment

• 1 high-speed blender

Ingredients

• 50 ml water
• 1 ¼ teaspoons agar agar powder
• 1 can 400 ml full-fat coconut milk
• 50 ml water
• 40 g macadamia nuts (or cashews)
• 40 g pea protein powder
• 2 tablespoons sweetener of your choice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1-2 pinches of turmeric (for colour, optional)

For serving:

• 1 cup of berries (heated)

Instructions

• Mix 1 ½ teaspoons of agar-agar powder with 50 ml of water in a cup and set it aside to "bloom."
• Now blend the remaining ingredients in a high-powered blender until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into a small pot and slowly bring it to a boil, whisking occasionally. Once the mixture gets colder, stir it more often.
• Once it starts boiling, stir in the agar-agar mixture and let it simmer for a few minutes while continuously stirring.
• Distribute the pudding mixture into dessert dishes; I use a 6-cup silicone muffin mold.
• Let it cool slightly and then chill it in the refrigerator until serving. I recommend berry compote or chocolate sauce for the perfect flavor combination. Enjoy!

Notes

Important: For measuring the agar-agar powder, I use special standardized measuring spoons. 1 teaspoon equals 15 ml and ½ teaspoon equals 7.5 ml. It's important to use the right amount of agar agar powder, so the puddings don't become too soft or too firm.
