Ingredients (for 4 servings)
- Preparation: 10 minutes
- Cool rest: 3 hours minimum
- Cooking: None
What you need:
- 300 ml of light coconut milk (in a carton)
- 100 ml of vegetable milk (almond or oat, unsweetened)
- 30g of Squad Nutrition whey vanilla flavor
- 1 ripe mango or 150g mango puree
- 1 to 2 tbsp agave syrup or honey (optional)
- 1 g of agar-agar (or 3 sheets of gelatin)
- A pinch of vanilla powder or a few drops of natural extract
For the topping (your choice):
- Grated coconut
- Diced pineapple or mango

How to prepare your coconut-protein flan
1. Prepare the liquid base
Pour the coconut milk, plant-based milk, and agar-agar into a saucepan. Mix well while cold to dissolve the agar-agar (if using gelatin sheets, soak them in cold water separately).
2. Heat gently
Heat the mixture until it simmers. Boil for 1 minute while stirring to activate the agar-agar. If using gelatin, strain it and stir it in off the heat.
3. Mix the flavors
In a blender, add the chopped mango, Squad Nutrition whey, agave syrup, and vanilla. Pour the hot base over the blender and blend for 20 to 30 seconds until smooth.
4. Pour into the molds
Take out 4 small ramekins (or a silicone mold) and divide the mixture. Let them cool for 10 minutes at room temperature, then place them in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
5. Unmold and add fun
Once the flan has set, gently unmold it. Now you can add the toppings: fresh fruit, coconut flakes, seeds... it's your turn!

Tips for adapting the recipe to your goals
Bulking up?
Add a spoonful of cashew butter or replace the plant-based milk with full-fat coconut milk. You'll increase calories and healthy fats while maintaining a great texture.
Dry?
Opt for a Squad whey isolate, reduce the amount of coconut milk, and slightly increase the amount of plant-based milk or water. You'll get a lighter but still delicious dessert.
In a vegan version?
Use a Squad plant-based protein and replace the gelatin with 1g of agar-agar (which is already in the recipe!).
Express variation: tropical mousse verrine
No time to wait for the flan to set? Here's a quick version:
