Ingredients
Filling
- 3 cups (700g) 0% Greek Yogurt (Vanilla flavoring recommended)
- 1 scoop (~37g) Vietnamese Coffee Whey Protein
- 3/4 cup (100 ml) Black Coffee/Espresso (room temp or cooler)
- 4 plain rice cakes (halved into 8 pieces)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
Instructions
1. Create the Protein "Slurry"
- In a mixing bowl, whisk 1 scoop of Vietnamese Coffee Whey Protein with 2.5 tablespoons of the coffee. Stir vigorously until it forms a smooth, thick, shiny paste (the consistency of peanut butter). If it’s still crumbly, add 1 extra teaspoon of coffee until smooth.
2. Mix the "Mascarpone" Layer
- Gently fold the 3 cups of Greek yogurt into the protein paste. Mix until the color is uniform and the texture is like a thick, dense mousse. There will be spots of dark, clumped coffee slurry. Flatten those with a spoon and mix within.
3. The First Layer
- Pour the remaining coffee into a shallow dish. Cut each rice cakes in half. Quickly dip 4 pieces (2 full cakes, halved) of the rice cakes into the coffee of shallow dish, 1 second per side. Place them flat in the bottom of your final container. Spread 1/3 of the yogurt-protein mix evenly over these cakes.
4. The Second Layer
- Quickly dip the remaining 4 pieces (2 full cakes, halved) of rice cakes into the coffee, 1 second per side. Layer them directly on top of the first yogurt layer. Spread the remaining yogurt mix over the top and smooth it out.
5. The Finish
- Sift the 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder over the top until the yogurt is completely covered.
6. The Chill (Crucial)
- Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best). This allows the rice cakes to soften into a "cake-like" texture and the flavors to meld.
With love and all things boba,
