Zero-Carb Vanilla Custard Pudding (High Protein)
Ingredients:
500 ml heavy cream
250 ml unsweetened almond milk (or water)
4 large egg yolks
2 whole eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 tbsp erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1 pinch salt
(Optional) 1 scoop vanilla whey isolate for extra protein
Instructions:
Heat the cream and almond milk over medium heat until hot, but do not boil.
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, whole eggs, sweetener, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
Slowly pour the hot cream into the eggs while whisking constantly.
Return everything to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously until thick enough to coat the spoon (about 5–8 minutes). Do not boil.
If using protein powder, remove from heat and whisk it in until smooth.
Pour into serving cups or a dish.
Chill in the refrigerator for 2–3 hours until set.
