Instructions
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed pan, whisk the coconut milk, cornstarch, turmeric ( if using ) and the protein powder well.
Add in the saffron strands. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat, stirring continuously.
The sauce will gradually start to thicken. Once it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Switch the heat off and stir in the sugar. Mix well to ensure it's dissolved completely.
Pour the custard ina bowl and cover its surface with a plastic wrap or a cotton kitchen napkin. This will ensure no skin forms on the surface of the custard as it cools.
Chill the custard in the refrigerator. Serve in little glass cups or bowls layered with fruits. Sprinkle some almonds and a spoon of whipped coconut cream on top. Enjoy!
