INSTRUCTIONS
In a blender, combine the protein powder, cottage cheese, almond milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, leaving some for garnish.
Pour the mousse into individual serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Garnish with a few fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest before serving.
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.
