High Protein Oreo Freeze Cups
Description
The recipe blends dry ingredients including vanilla protein powder, coconut flour, and Dutch black cocoa powder with a sweetener to create a chocolate-flavored base. This base is moistened by adding canned pumpkin, unsweetened applesauce, and almond milk, then thoroughly mixed to combine into a scoopable dough. This dough is shaped and pressed into silicone muffin cups and partially frozen to firm up.
A spoonful of marshmallow fluff is added to the centers, which then get frozen further to set. A final layer of dough is spread on top and packed firmly before a last freeze. The process creates layered frozen cups with a chocolatey protein dough and a sweet, fluffy marshmallow center, delivering a contrast of creamy sweetness and dense chocolate flavor in a cold format.
These cups store well in the freezer in an airtight container and should be thawed at room temperature for about 10 minutes before eating for best texture. The recipe can be modified to be dairy-free by using dairy-free protein powder. This preparation provides a convenient, make-ahead option for a portable, high-protein snack or dessert.

- Using a spoon, scoop a heaping tablespoon (20g) of dough into 12 silicone muffin cups. Press the dough into the cups using a spoon and your fingers. Place in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to set.
- Take out, and add a heaping 1/2 tablespoon of marshmallow fluff (4g) to each cup. Place back in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Finally, add a heaping tablespoon (20g) of dough on top. Smooth and press down the dough so it's packed in the cup and the top has been spread out even.
- Keep stored in freezer in an airtight container until ready to eat. Let defrost at room temperature for 10 minutes, then enjoy!
