Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, pour the almond milk and sprinkle in the agar-agar powder.
Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture starts to simmer, ensuring the agar-agar begins to activate.
Simmer and Dissolve Agar-Agar: Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for 2 more minutes to fully dissolve the agar-agar powder, which is key for proper setting.
Add Protein Powder: Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the salted caramel protein powder until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
Sweeten to Taste: Taste the mixture and add your preferred sweetener if additional sweetness is desired, mixing thoroughly.
Pour into Molds: Transfer the mixture into molds or individual serving cups for setting.
Chill and Set: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until it firms up into a jello-like consistency.
Serve: Once set, serve chilled and enjoy your creamy, caramel-flavored protein jello dessert.

Notes

Agar-agar sets at room temperature but chilling enhances its texture and firmness.
Use unsweetened almond milk to control sugar content, especially if adding sweeteners later.
Adjust sweetener quantity according to the sweetness of your protein powder.
The dessert can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a vegan version, ensure the protein powder is plant-based and free from animal derivatives.
