Chocolate Protein Powder Fudge (Vegan)
Description
The Chocolate Protein Powder Fudge recipe creates a dense, rich vegan treat by combining coconut oil and almond butter melted slowly to avoid burning. Adding vegan protein powder in two amounts ensures proper texture and smoothness. Cacao powder contributes chocolate flavor and deep color while maple syrup provides sweetness. Optionally, vanilla-flavored stevia adjusts sweetness depending on the protein powder used.
The mixture is whisked swiftly off heat to incorporate all powders smoothly, then poured into molds or a prepared loaf pan and frozen for one to two hours to solidify. The final fudge is firm yet creamy with a slight chocolate sweetness. Toppings such as mini chocolate chips or sea salt enhance texture and flavor. Cocoa powder can be substituted for cacao powder although some nutritional benefits may be reduced.
Ingredients
- 3 tbs coconut oil
- ¼ cup almond butter or any nut butter
- ¼ cup vegan protein powder chocolate or vanilla
- ½ tbs vegan protein powder
- 1.5 tbs cacao powder
- 3.5 tbs maple syrup
- 1.5 teaspoon stevia optional, vanilla flavor
- mini chocolate chips optional, for topping
Instructions
- In a small pot, melt the coconut oil, maple syrup, and nut butter on low.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the remaining ingredients using a whisk and not a fork until smooth.
- Pour into a silicone baking loaf and top with chocolate chips or sea salt (if using).
- Pop in the freezer for one to two hours to set.
Notes
- Melt coconut oil and almond butter gently on low heat, removing once just melted to prevent burning.
- Use both ¼ cup and ½ tablespoon of protein powder as specified to achieve the correct texture.
- Whisk protein powder in quickly after removing from heat to ensure a smooth mixture without lumps.
- Stevia is optional and depends on the sweetness of your protein powder; adjust accordingly.
- Portion the fudge in a parchment-lined loaf pan for slicing or use individual silicone molds for easy servings.
- Cocoa powder can substitute cacao powder but may reduce some nutrients.
