Viral Boiled Egg Chocolate Pudding: The Internet’s Protein Dessert Trend
Written by Yash Lakhan | September 8, 2024
Protein fanatics, aka gym lovers, are always on the lookout for creative and tasty ways to boost their protein intake. While chicken and rice, protein powder shakes, and meat-based dishes are often the go-to, there’s a new trendy dish in Internet town: one that blends hard-boiled eggs into a pudding. It does sound a bit unappetizing, but as the saying goes, “don’t knock it till you try it.”
The idea behind this unusual pudding is to create a high-protein, low-carb snack or dessert that is both convenient and satisfying. It’s also a good option for people with dietary restrictions, being grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
Hard-boiled eggs are easy to make and store in the fridge, and they have a decent amount of protein and essential amino acids that can help with muscle building and recovery. Judging by how quickly this dessert has become viral online, we are anticipating the flavor to be pleasant, especially if the hard-boiled eggs are blended to silky smoothness in a high-speed blender, and flavored adequately with good-quality chocolate. You can also choose to flavor the pudding with other elements.
Even if you’re not a gym freak, including adequate protein in your daily diet is essential for your overall health. This viral macronutrient helps the body to function adequately by maintaining muscle quality, growth, and repair of tissues, and immune function. Protein is also important for hormonal balance, helping regulate bodily functions like growth, mood, and metabolism. Moreover, protein also helps with satiety, the feeling of fullness, which can be helpful if you’re trying to manage weight. High-protein foods take longer to digest compared to carbohydrates, so you will feel fuller for longer. Whether you’re young or old, protein is very important. So, we would recommend trying out this bizarre chocolate dessert recipe and deciding for yourself whether it’s a hit or a flop.
How to Serve
Pudding is usually served cold in small bowls or dessert cups. Popular toppings include whipped cream, shaved chocolate, cocoa nibs, crushed nuts, fresh fruit (e.g., berries or banana), or sea salt. For texture, many people will use granola or crushed biscuits in between layers of the pudding. Putting it in the fridge before serving will help keep it thick, which is what has become a popular method for making boiled egg chocolate pudding recently.
Storing Leftovers
Leftover pudding should be kept in an airtight container in the fridge. There are food safety guidelines that state that egg-based desserts should only be eaten after 3-4 days when stored at the proper temperature. Stirring pudding before serving will also help restore its original smooth texture if it has thickened during cold storage.
