Description
A simple dessert of Greek yogurt and eggs, baked into a light, creamy custard.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (450g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (48g) powdered sweetener
- 2 tablespoons (15g) unflavored whey protein powder
- 1 tablespoon (8g) almond flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Cooking spray or butter, for the pan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan, then line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides to act as handles.
- In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, powdered sweetener, whey protein powder, almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Whisk the ingredients until the batter is completely smooth and no lumps remain. You can also use an electric mixer on low speed for about 30 seconds.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The baked yogurt is done when the edges look set and the center still has a slight wobble. For safety, the center should register 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
- Place the pan on a wire rack and let it cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 2 hours, or until it is completely firm.
- Once chilled, use the parchment handles to lift the baked yogurt from the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 9 squares to serve.
Notes
- Internal Temperature: Egg-based dishes like this are safe to eat when they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Use an instant-read thermometer to check the center before removing from the oven.
- Don’t Overbake: A slight jiggle in the center is what you want. The custard will finish setting as it cools and chills.
- Yogurt Choice: Full-fat Greek yogurt provides the creamiest, most stable result. Regular, non-Greek yogurt is too thin and will not set properly.
- Chilling is Important: Do not skip the chilling step. It is necessary for the custard to firm up, which allows for clean slices and the best texture.
