Ingredients

• 2 cups Low-fat milk
• 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the low-fat milk and vanilla protein powder. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm but not boiling.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and pale.

Step 3

Gradually add a small amount of the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.

Step 4

Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk, stirring continuously.

Step 5

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or a heatproof spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.

Step 6

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 7

Pour the custard into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 8

Let the custard cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Step 9

Serve chilled, garnished with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
