Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 0.5 cup Protein powder (vanilla flavored)
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are well beaten.
In a separate bowl, mix the protein powder with a little bit of almond milk at a time to create a smooth paste. Gradually add the rest of the almond milk while stirring to avoid lumps.
Add the honey and vanilla extract to the almond milk mixture, stirring until well combined.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, and stir it into the almond milk mixture.
Slowly pour the almond milk mixture into the beaten eggs while whisking continuously. This helps to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Add the salt and stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into a large oven-safe dish or individual ramekins.
Place the dish or ramekins in a larger baking pan and pour enough hot water into the larger pan to reach halfway up the sides of the custard dish(es). This water bath will help cook the custard gently.
Carefully place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to let the custard fully set.
Enjoy your high protein vanilla custard as a delightful and nutritious dessert!
