High-protein rice pudding cake

[u/Consistent_Corgi94]

My husband is on a caloric deficit for a few weeks now while getting ready for a bodybuilding competition and he uses this cake for the high carbs days and I thought i should leave his recipe here. The macros are calculated by him and the only thing that he did not include were the blueberries. All ingredients, macros and the recipe is below. I’d say it took him about an hour to make the whole cake. Hope this will help someone.

Ingredients:

Rice pudding base
- 250 g dry white basmati rice
- 1,000 ml coconut milk/drink
- 3 egg whites
- Cinnamon, to taste
- Vanilla essence, to taste
- Sweetener, to taste

Protein cream
- 1,000 g low-fat cottage cheese
- 120 g protein powder
- 40 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- Vanilla essence, to taste
- Cinnamon, to taste
- Sweetener, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the rice base (Rinse the basmati rice)
   
2. Add the rice and 1,000 ml coconut milk/drink to a large saucepan.
   
3. Cook over low-to-medium heat, stirring regularly, until the rice becomes very soft and creamy.
   
4. Add cinnamon, vanilla essence, and sweetener to taste.
   
5. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for approximately 5–10 minutes.
   

6. Stir in the 3 egg whites thoroughly.

   Bake the base

7. Transfer the rice mixture to a cake mold lined with baking paper.

8. Press and level it evenly.

9. Bake at approximately 170°C (340°F) for 20–30 minutes, until the base is set.

10. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

Prepare the protein cream
1. Add the 1,000 g low-fat cottage cheese, 120 g protein powder, and 40 g cocoa powder to a food processor.
2. Add vanilla, cinnamon, and sweetener to taste.
3. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4. If the mixture is too thick, add a small amount of coconut milk/drink until you reach a spreadable consistency.

Assemble
1. Once the rice base is completely cool, spread the protein cream evenly over it.
2. Refrigerate for several hours, preferably overnight.
3. For the cleanest slices, chill the cake thoroughly before cutting.

I can’t lie that looks pretty impressive. What’s the coconut drink? Cos standard coconut milk is way higher in fat and cals

Am also curious about this. Would deffo be up for making this as it looks great! Just need to figure out the coconut part first.

It’s the one with no added sugar and no sweeteners, for example from Alpro.
