Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 170ml unsweetened almond milk
- 2g agar-agar powder
- 5g salted caramel protein powder
- Optional: sweetener to taste (such as stevia, erythritol, or honey)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, pour in the 170ml of unsweetened almond milk and sprinkle 2g of agar-agar powder over it.
- Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan on medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture begins to simmer, ensuring the agar-agar starts to activate.
- Dissolve Agar-Agar: Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for another 2 minutes to fully dissolve the agar-agar powder, which is crucial for the jello to set properly.
- Add Protein Powder: Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in 5g of salted caramel protein powder until completely smooth and well combined.
- Sweeten (Optional): Taste the mixture and add your preferred sweetener to adjust sweetness according to your preference, whisking well.
- Pour and Set: Pour the mixture into molds or individual serving cups to shape the jello.
- Refrigerate: Place the molds in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the jello to set firmly.
- Serve: Once set, serve the creamy caramel protein jello chilled for a refreshing and nutritious dessert or snack.
Notes
- Agar-agar sets at room temperature but refrigerating ensures a firmer texture and keeps the jello fresh.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk for variation.
- Adjust the sweetener based on your dietary preferences or protein powder sweetness.
- For a firmer jello, increase agar-agar powder to 3g.
- This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, and suitable for vegetarians.
