Egg-White Tahini Chocolate Pudding ================================== Low-GL, high-protein take on the viral boiled egg pudding -- yolks swapped for tahini, almond milk base, honey at 35g with salt doing the balancing. Ingredients ----------- * Hard-boiled eggs, whites only (5, about 165g whites) * Tahini, well-stirred (45 g) * Cocoa powder, Dutch-process if you have it (18 g) * Unsweetened almond milk (120 ml) * Honey (35 g) * Vanilla extract (9 g) * Fine salt (3/4 g) Preparation ----------- * Boil eggs for 7 minutes -- no longer, or sulfur flavors develop. * Move straight to an ice bath and chill fully. * Peel the cold eggs and separate out the whites. Save the yolks for something else. * Add the whites, tahini, cocoa powder, almond milk, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender. * Blend on high until completely smooth -- a full 1-2 minutes, scraping down once. Any graininess means keep blending. * Taste. If egg or tahini bitterness comes through, add another 5g of cocoa and blend again. If it needs sweetness, add allulose to taste. Thin with a splash of almond milk if too thick. * Portion into four ~100g servings (ramekins or small jars) and refrigerate at least 2 hours. It thickens as it sets and tastes better cold. Keeps up to 4 days covered. Notes ----- Serving size: 4 portions of ~100g each (about a standard ramekin), roughly 130 kcal, 7-8g protein, ~8g net carbs per serving. Almond milk drops the lactose sweetness, so taste at the blend stage -- if it needs more, add allulose rather than honey to keep the GL flat. Blend longer than feels necessary; the whites-plus-tahini emulsion needs the time.
