Hi All,
I wanted to post this in a separate thread instead of the recipe thread because I don't know how many people go into that thread on a daily basis. Anyway, here is a recipe that my counselor gave me to make the IP puddings into little cakes! They are awesome!


-Preheat oven to 350 degrees
-In a blender, combine (2) egg whites, (1) t. vanilla and 2 oz. of water. Blend well
-Pour liquid contents into a bowl, and gently fold in pudding packet. I usually add a little powder, mix it up, add a little more, etc... The final result is a "batter" similar to brownies. And yes, I lick the bowl and spoon
-To bake, I use (2) small corning ware dishes, you could also make them in a muffin tin, and divide them into (3) equal muffins. I spray the bottom of the dish with Pam so the cakes won't stick.

The cakes will get VERY large while baking, and will deflate when cooling. If you put too much batter into a small baking dish, your cakes will literally explode in the oven. It is VERY important to only fill the baking dish or muffin tin 1/2 way. Which is why you will get 2 small cakes or 3 muffins.

-Bake at 350 for 15-16 minutes. Let cool and enjoy a mini cake.

(2) notes:
1). I have only tried this with Lemon, Butterscotch and Vanilla puddings. They have all turned out excellect! I haven't tried with Chocolate because I don't really care for the chocolate pudding, it is very chalky to me.
2). If you are making the cakes in a muffin tin, fill the empty muffin "holes" with water so that the cakes bake evenly.

Yum!! I'm going to try and make this today

So is one serving all 3 cupcakes?

Yes, all (3) are one serving because it is (1 ) packet! I make these just about every night. For me, it is the perfect answer to dessert

So would the egg whites count towards your daily amount of other protein? (If that makes sense?)

She told me no because it is just (2) egg whites and she said that calorically they are virtually nothing, so I do not count them. She may have also told me that because I exercise 5-6x week and she figures the extra protein cannot hurt.

2 large egg whites:
32 Cal
0 fat
0 carb
7 protein

I guess it is up to you if you want to count them, but I would think that an extra 7 grams of protein would not be a problem. But if you feel more comfortable, talk to your counselor first.

Thank you Jennydoodle!! This sounds great and I plan to try it tonight!!!

yummy! I am definitely going to have these for dessert tonight thanks for sharing

Awesome! I'm excited to try this Its so great to have something different to try and something sweet and delicious!

WOW! What a great idea. I am totally going to have to do this tonight. Thanks for sharing.

Made chocolate cinnamon cake for lunch...SO GOOD! Might try strawberry vanilla swirl tonight...mix half pkg of vanilla & half pkg of strawberry and mix each with one egg, 1/2 tsp of vanilla and 1 oz of water and then swirl them in the mini loaf pan before cooking

yumm-o!
I just made a batch of chocolate mini cupcakes they're perfect because I can eat them through the day. Lets me space out my single evening snack.

The chocolate turned out good? In general, I do not like the chocolate pudding although I was sure it was going to be my favorite as I love anything chocolate. But I felt like it was very chalky, so I haven't bought it since. But maybe the cakes / cupcakes turn out better?

I bet the vanilla with cinnamon would taste really great too.

I am so glad you guys are liking the cakes! It is my favorite IP food and I look forward to them every night. They really are a treat, and EASY to make.

I'm going to have to try this...thank you for posting!

Thanks for posting YUMMY!!!!!! vanilla was amazing! I also added a dash of pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon nutmeg clove ginger) what a great treat!

I tried this last night. So yummy. Thank you for the recipe.
