Notes
You need to use canned coconut milk for the richest texture. Get a can that has the water separated from the cream. Pop it into the fridge overnight upside down. Then in the morning, drain the water on top when you open it. You want only the thick, white cream for the pumpkin pudding.
Use an electric mixer to whip up the protein pudding. The collagen powder won’t mix in as well with a fork.
The pudding is thinner and runnier when you whip it. Chilling it in the fridge is what thickens it up a bit.
Adjust the pumpkin pie spice according to your own preference. However, know that the more you add, the less bright (and orangey) the pudding will be.
You cannot sub in regular protein powder (or vegan) for collagen powder as it absorbs differently. Learn more about choosing a protein powder for your goals. However, I have made this recipe with beef-based protein powders and found it works decently (a bit stickier than thick and creamy).
Makes 3 small servings. I typically make it into two.
Store it in the fridge in a sealed container or jars for up to 4 days. Know that it doesn’t freeze well.
