A silky, protein-rich custard that bridges the gap between a comforting dessert and a nourishing meal. This vanilla-infused custard dazzles with a delicate, caramelized top, delivering a luxurious taste and texture suited for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
3 large egg whites (≈99g)
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese (≈110g)
1 scoop vanilla whey protein isolate (≈30g)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (≈120g)
1 tsp coconut oil (≈5g)
1 tsp brown sugar (≈4g)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (≈2.5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Prepare a baking dish for a water bath (bain-marie) by filling it with hot water to come halfway up the sides of your ramekins.
In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, low-fat cottage cheese, vanilla whey protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and uniform.
Divide the mixture evenly among ramekins or small, oven-safe custard dishes.
Place the filled ramekins in the prepared water bath. Carefully transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and allow them to cool slightly. Sprinkle a layer of brown sugar evenly over the top of each custard and drizzle with coconut oil.
Using a culinary torch or by placing under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, carefully caramelize the top until a thin, crisp layer forms. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Let the custards cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for a delightful texture contrast between the smooth custard and the crisp, caramelized top.
