Vanilla Protein Pudding (Vegan, Gluten-free, Keto-friendly)
Super easy to make and very versatile with numerous possible flavour combinations! These little protein-packed vanilla puddings are best enjoyed with a serve of home-made berry sauce to get your taste buds dancing with joy. Enjoy!
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.
