Protein Vanilla Custard Pudding 🍮

Servings: 3
Prep time: 30 minutes
Chilling time: 2–3 hours

Ingredients

* 400 ml high-protein milk
* 30 g vanilla whey protein powder
* 25 g cornstarch
* 1 egg yolk
* Sweetener, to taste (optional)
* Vanilla extract, to taste (optional)

Instructions

1. First shaker: Add 200 ml cold milk, the cornstarch, and the egg yolk. Shake well until completely combined.
2. Cook: Pour the mixture into a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until thick and creamy. Continue cooking over low heat for another 30–60 seconds, stirring constantly.
3. Second shaker: Combine the remaining 200 ml cold milk with the whey protein powder. Shake until smooth.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the custard to cool until lukewarm.
5. Gradually incorporate the protein mixture into the custard, whisking until smooth and creamy.
6. Divide between two dessert bowls and refrigerate for 2–3 hours until set.

Tip: Mixing the egg yolk and cornstarch with cold milk in a shaker prevents lumps and creates a smoother custard. Adding the whey mixture off the heat helps maintain a silky texture without making the protein powder grainy.
