In reply to Michelle Hoffman. I looked and looked to see where you might be finding anything in my blog content about egg white protein and doubled checked it, but then discovered the link in the recipe card was going to vanilla egg white protein not whey which was a plug in issue with the incorrect product on Amazon. All fixed now! Thanks for questioning it!

I wanted to confirm that in the recipe you suggest using egg white protein powder but in the notes you suggest using whey for an extra boost. Is this correct?
Thanks!

In reply to Sally Flynn. I am not sure on how it will thicken and set with water, better to use unsweet almond milk.

In reply to Lissa. Yes it will work, just will change the macros below.

I would like to use 3 cups Fairlife whole milk & skip the skim milk. Do you think this change would work?

Instead of skim milk and regular milk, could I do 2 thirds water and one third heavy cream? Or similar? Thank you!

In reply to Ng.

I just found your question….I was wondering the same thing…
But…I was also wondering about ONLY using a Vanilla whey shake and no almond milk.
But a microwave can bake a flan…at 50% power…this is important set your microwave to half power… I think you may have to stir the mixture every two minutes or so…or (not sure) you might create scrambled eggs! Hope this helps!

Thank you! My protein powder is pea-based rather than whey based, but it worked fine. I poured the mixture into two pyrex dishes and cooked for 35 minutes, then cooled and served with fresh raspberries ☺️

In reply to Ng. Sorry I've not tested this recipe using the microwave but I don't think it will produce a smooth texture.

if I were to use the microwave instead, how will the cooking times change?

In reply to carol. I make my flan in a pie dish and it typically takes an hour. I followed the same method and it came out perfectly.

You could replace the whey with egg white protein powder. https://amzn.to/3hSgo1j

I can’t eat whey. Can I leave it out?

In reply to Shelly Anderson. You can find protein powder at Walmart, mine is often located near the pharmacy stuff like medicines. Or you can buy on Amazon as well.
