Kimkins Espresso Protein Pudding


Ingredients (6 4-oz servings)
  • 12 oz water
  • 3 oz light cream
  • 1 small eggs
  • 1 packet unflavored unsweetened gelatin
  • 1 scoop VPX 0 carb chocolate protein powder
  • 4 packets sugar substitute
  • 1 teaspoons espresso powder or instant coffee
  • 1 teaspoon chocolate extract (optional, but gives deeper flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Heat 1/2 cup of the water to boiling and pour into a heatproof medium mixing bowl. Add gelatin and espresso powder. Stir well and let sit 5 minutes for gelatin to dissolve completely.

In a different bowl whisk the eggs together the rest of the water, cream, sugar substitute, protein powder, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Pour into 6 4-ounce ramekins treated with cooking spray or use silicone custard cups and you won't need the spray.

Place ramekins in a large flat skillet and fill with hot water to 1/2” from the tops of the ramekins. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly and simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove the cups from the skillet. Place small pieces of plastic wrap over the pudding surface of each ramekin to prevent skin from forming. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight until well chilled. Garnish with a dab of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!
