Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package (1 oz) caramel sugar-free instant pudding mix
- 2 scoops (about 60 g) vanilla protein powder
- 2 cups cold skim or 2% milk
Optional Toppings
- Sugar-free caramel syrup (to drizzle)
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Dollop of light whipped cream
Instructions
- Chill Cups or Molds: Place your serving cups or molds in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes so they are extra cold and help the dessert set better.
- Prepare Pudding Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the caramel sugar-free instant pudding mix, vanilla protein powder, and cold milk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Prepare Molds: Lightly spray the chilled cups or molds with nonstick cooking spray if you plan to remove the jello later for easy unmolding.
- Divide Mixture: Pour the prepared pudding mixture evenly into the chilled or sprayed cups or molds, filling each to your desired level.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the filled cups or molds back into the refrigerator and let them set for 2 to 3 hours, until completely set and jiggly in texture.
- Add Toppings: Just before serving, add any optional toppings such as a drizzle of sugar-free caramel syrup, a pinch of cinnamon, or a dollop of light whipped cream to enhance flavor and presentation.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the creamy caramel protein jello cold and enjoy its rich, satisfying flavor and smooth texture.
Notes
- Use skim milk for a lower calorie and fat version or 2% milk for creamier texture.
- Lightly spraying the molds helps with easy unmolding if desired.
- Protein powder can be substituted with your favorite vanilla-flavored brand.
- Adjust sweetness by adding sugar-free caramel syrup as a topping instead of mixing in.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the pudding mixture before setting.
- This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for freshness.
