How to Make Mounds Of Protein Pudding

  1. Rinse mung beans thoroughly. In a medium saucepan, combine mung beans and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until tender but not mushy.
  2. In a separate saucepan, combine rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes, or until tender but still slightly firm.
  3. Drain both the mung beans and rice. Set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and honey until light and fluffy.
  6. Add melted butter, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk until combined.
  7. Gradually whisk in buttermilk and coconut milk until smooth.
  8. In a deep, oven-safe casserole dish, combine cooked mung beans, cooked rice, and 1 (13.5 ounce) can of coconut milk.
  9. Pour the cocoa mixture evenly over the mung bean and rice mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and lightly browned on top.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with shredded coconut, if desired. Serve warm or chilled.
