"Rice" Pudding (AKA Cauliflower) - Ideal Protein Recipe

As most of you know I've been dieting for a while now (57 lbs down so far).  The new diet I'm on Ideal Protein is very strict so finding recipes to make is very hard.  Searching the internet I have found some great choices.  I tried this one which was very good!  NOW don't get freaked out thinking how could cauliflower been a good dessert?  Just trust me and try this.  This recipe calls for an Ideal Protein Shake/Pudding I'm sure you can substitute with protein powder.  If your needing a sweet treat and don't want to blow your diet this is a great one!
Ingredients: 
1 tsp gelatine or Agar Agar with ¼ cup water
1 Ideal Protein Vanilla Pudding & 6 oz water
2 Cups of riced cauliflower – cooked, chopped and cooled into small, rice-sized pieces. (Pulse in blender in small batches for best results).
Splenda (1-2 pkts) - I used Truvia (or the Walmart brand)
Vanilla (1 tsp)
Cinnamon, nutmeg to taste
Directions: 
Mix gelatine with water, add pudding, cauliflower and flavorings (you could use any extract flavorings you like, maple, orange, strawberry) – mix well and put in refrigerator till set. Top with Walden Farms caramel sauce, strawberry spread or just a dash of cinnamon.
I don't have the Walden Farms Sauces so I just dashed some cinnamon on top.

Hope you all have a wonderful day and I hope you enjoy this one!

  4. Not gonna lie, that looks disgusting! Although, if I came to your house I would probably try it, but making it on my own, probably not. :)
