INSTRUCTIONS
In a bowl, whisk together the protein powder, coconut milk, shredded coconut, and sweetener.
Continue whisking until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the pudding to thicken.
Divide the pudding into two servings.
Top with toasted coconut flakes and fresh fruit.
TROUBLESHOOTING
My puddings are too dry
Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.
They didn't rise properly
Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.
The texture is rubbery
This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
