Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 60 grams Vanilla Protein Powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 750 milliliters Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 60 milliliters Honey
- 40 grams Cornflour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 15 grams Butter
- 4 sheets Phyllo Pastry Sheets
- 1 as needed Cooking Spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla protein powder, and vanilla extract until well blended and smooth.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond milk and honey. Stir frequently until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with a little warm milk to create a slurry. Gradually whisk this slurry into the hot milk mixture until the custard thickens slightly. Add the salt and remove from heat.
Slowly whisk the milk mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring a smooth consistency. Strain the custard through a fine mesh sieve to remove any potential lumps.
Melt the butter and lightly brush a phyllo pastry sheet. Lay it across the greased baking dish, allowing some overhang. Repeat with remaining sheets, stacking them atop each other.
Pour the strained custard mixture over the phyllo-lined dish. Fold any overhanging pastry over, spraying with cooking spray or gently brushing with melted butter between layers.
Bake the custard in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the dish before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, allowing the custard to firm up further.
Once chilled, slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your high-protein baked custard slice!
