Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 0.75 cup vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 packet unflavored gelatin
• 0.75 cup Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of water with the packet of unflavored gelatin and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, vanilla protein powder, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir well to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add about half a cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 5

Slowly pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan while continuously stirring.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the gelatin until completely dissolved.

Step 7

Add the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt to the mixture and whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 8

Pour the pudding into serving dishes, allowing it to cool to room temperature before covering with plastic wrap.

Step 9

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of protein powder, if desired, and serve.
