Ingredients
1 1/2cupscups coconut milk or milk of choice
2tablespoonsgelatin
1scoop vanilla protein powder
1-2tablespoonshoney or maple syrup
1teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Add milk to a small saucepan and sprinkle with the gelatin powder. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, giving time for gelatin to bloom and soak up the liquid. This is an important step to prevent clumps.Add the honey and vanilla extract and transfer to the stove top over a low-medium heat. Use a whisk to stir throughout, heating to a gentle simmer or until the gelatin has completely dissolved. Then turn off the heat and let the mixture cool a little before adding protein powder and pour into silicone moulds or a lined dish or pan.Note; it is best to lay a silicone tray on top of a baking tray before pouring the liquid in, for easy transfer to the fridge.Set in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or until firm. Pop out of moulds or cut into small squares.Store: Transfer to an airtight container in the fridge (up to 5 days) or freezer (up to 3 months).
