Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 0.75 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin
- 0.75 cup Greek yogurt
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of water with the packet of unflavored gelatin and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, vanilla protein powder, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir well to ensure there are no lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add about half a cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Slowly pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan while continuously stirring.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the gelatin until completely dissolved.
Add the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt to the mixture and whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the pudding into serving dishes, allowing it to cool to room temperature before covering with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set before serving.
Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of protein powder, if desired, and serve.
