Chocolate puddings don’t have to be off limits when you’re following an OPTIFAST weight loss plan – you just need to make them a little differently.
Included in our wide range of meal replacement products is an OPTIFAST Chocolate Dessert, which can be enjoyed on its own or with a few extra additions like in this chocolate and almond pudding recipe. We’ve combined almond extract with beaten egg whites to create a mousse-like texture.
Satisfy your sweet tooth while staying on track to your weight loss goals with this tasty treat.
Start by separating the egg. Discard the yolk or save to use at a later time. Whisk the egg white until you have soft peaks or a foam-like consistency and set aside.
Combine 200ml of ice-cold water and an OPTIFAST Chocolate Dessert sachet in a medium-sized bowl and whisk until all the powder has dissolved.
Add in the almond essence and mix through, then gently fold in the beaten egg white.
Place the mixture in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to set.
Once ready, scoop the pudding into a dessert bowl or ramekin and enjoy!
