This is a tasty custard that you can use even if you’re dieting. You can leave out the protein powder if you wish. I have a few variations, but the base is always the same. The recipe yields seven servings in those glass custard cups. The base contains 11 grams of protein per serving and the base is also low carb. Not bad for a snack!
3 egg whites
2 eggs
110 grams lowfat cottage cheese (I use 2%)
1 cup milk, (you can use evaporated low fat milk, soy milk, almond milk and even rice milk)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 or two scoops vanilla protein powder
1 cup sweetener ( I prefer erythritol as it doesn’t cause bloating like other sugar alcohols)
Blend all ingredients until creamy. Place in refrigerator and let settle. A little later, place a pot of water on the stove and turn on heat for the Bain-marie Preheat oven to 350.
-Take out egg mixture and stir with a spoon.
-Pour into pyrex-type glass custard cups.
-Place cups in a glass casserole dish
-When water comes to a boil, pour in the casserole dish. Make sure it’s close to level of the custards. You can bake it without the water; however, it will make it more dry, so the extra effort, in my opinion, is worth it!
-Bake for 25-30 minutes. Test by piercing with knife. If it comes out clean, it’s done!
There are many different flavors you can try with this one. Prepare the recipe as above and simply process in to the base recipe
