Why Collagen Hydrolysate in Protein Pudding?
Collagen hydrolysate—also called collagen peptides or hydrolyzed collagen—provides an additional protein source that can be effortlessly stirred into warm and cold foods. Unlike classic gelatin powder, collagen hydrolysate does not set into a gel but remains creamy and liquid even after cooling—ideal for puddings like this sticky rice with mango.
Our Halal Collagen Peptides powder consists of pure collagen from grass-fed cattle, is free from additives, and is particularly soluble thanks to its small peptide size. It can be flexibly integrated into daily life—in coffee, smoothies, porridge, or even a high-protein sticky rice pudding.

Product used in the recipe
Collagen Hydrolysate by Animal Based - Halal Collagen Peptides
Our Halal collagen hydrolysate powder (collagen peptides) consists of high-quality, pure collagen from grass-fed cattle—without any additives. Thanks to a special agglomeration process, it is particularly soluble and can be effortlessly integrated into daily life, whether in cold or hot drinks or in dishes like this protein pudding.
Tips for the perfect pudding consistency
The consistency of the sticky rice pudding depends primarily on the amount of psyllium husk. If you want a firmer pudding, you can use half a tablespoon more psyllium husk next time or extend the chilling time.
If the pudding has become too firm, a dash of extra almond milk while stirring helps. It is also important to stir continuously while heating so that the collagen hydrolysate dissolves evenly.
Variations for the Sticky Rice Pudding recipe
The base recipe with collagen hydrolysate can be easily adapted. Here are four popular variations:
🫐 Berries instead of mango
Use fresh berries like blueberries or raspberries instead of mango as a fruity topping.
🍫 Cocoa variation

🌿 Vanilla note

🥥 Without shredded coconut
Omit the shredded coconut or replace it with chopped almonds for a different texture.

FAQ about Protein Sticky Rice with Mango
What is the difference between collagen hydrolysate and collagen peptides?
Collagen hydrolysate and collagen peptides refer to the same product: hydrolyzed collagen that has been broken down into small peptide chains, making it particularly easy to dissolve in liquids.
Is collagen hydrolysate Halal?
Animal Based Collagen Hydrolysate is Halal-certified and comes exclusively from grass-fed cattle slaughtered according to Islamic ritual slaughter guidelines.
Can I also prepare the pudding without collagen?
Yes, the base recipe also works without collagen hydrolysate. However, you will miss out on the additional protein content that makes this pudding particularly satiating.
Why isn't my pudding setting?
This is usually due to too little psyllium husk or not enough chilling time. Next time, use a little more psyllium husk and let the pudding sit in the refrigerator for at least 20–30 minutes.
How much protein does the sticky rice pudding contain?
With 4 tbsp of collagen hydrolysate, the pudding has a significantly higher protein content than classic sticky rice—the exact amount depends on the product used.
How long does the protein pudding keep?
The pudding keeps for 2–3 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container. Ideally, the mango should only be added just before serving.
Ready for your own protein pudding?
