Ingredients
1 shake (11.5 oz / 325ml) Premier Protein Café Latte (or Chocolate)
1 tbsp Sugar-free chocolate instant pudding mix (or vanilla)
1/2 tsp Xanthan gum or guar gum (essential for expanding and thickening)
1 tsp Instant espresso powder (optional, for an extra coffee kick)
1 tbsp Sugar-free chocolate syrup (for swirling)
1 tsp Unsweetened cocoa powder or dark chocolate shavings (for topping)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Combine Ingredients: Pour the Premier Protein Café Latte shake into a mixing bowl. Add the 1 tbsp sugar-free pudding mix, 1/2 tsp xanthan gum, and optional 1 tsp instant espresso powder.
2. Whip on High: Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip on high speed for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture doubles or triples in volume and forms thick, soft peaks.
3. Swirl: Drizzle the sugar-free chocolate syrup over the top and gently fold with a spatula twice to create a distinct mocha swirl.
4. Garnish & Chill: Dust with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings. Serve immediately for an airy mousse, or chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to firm up!
Chef’s Tips
Don’t Skip the Xanthan Gum: This is the key ingredient that locks in air and turns a liquid protein shake into a thick, fluffy whip!
Use Ice Cold Shake: Keep your Premier Protein shake in the fridge beforehand—cold liquid whips up significantly larger than room-temperature liquid.
