Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt (225g)
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • ¼ cup Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 22g)
  • ½ tsp Cornstarch

Optional Add-ins

  • ¼ cup Chopped Berries
  • 2 Tbsp Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large ramekin or two small ramekins with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Yogurt and Egg: In a large bowl, whisk together the nonfat plain Greek yogurt and the egg until they are thoroughly combined and smooth.
  3. Add Protein Powder and Cornstarch: Stir in the vanilla protein powder and cornstarch. Mix gently until smooth, being careful not to over-mix to keep the texture light.
  4. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick and not pourable, add the unsweetened almond milk to loosen it to a pourable consistency.
  5. Add Optional Ingredients: Fold in chopped berries or chocolate chips if desired for extra flavor and texture.
  6. Transfer to Ramekin: Pour the prepared mixture into the greased ramekin(s) and smooth the top evenly.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes if using a large ramekin, or about 20 minutes for smaller ones. The center should be slightly jiggly or soft to the touch when done.

Notes

  • Do not over-mix the batter to maintain a light texture.
  • Adjust the almond milk quantity based on the thickness of your yogurt and protein powder.
  • Ensure the center is slightly jiggly to avoid overbaking, which can dry out the custard.
  • This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for multiple servings.
  • Use a ramekin size that matches baking times—smaller ramekins need less time.
