Description

This Coffee Protein Fudge is a rich and energizing treat that combines the bold flavors of espresso and dark chocolate with the nutritional boost of protein powder and almond butter. Perfect as a post-workout snack or a guilt-free indulgence, this no-bake fudge is simple to make, requiring just a few wholesome ingredients and a quick chill in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate protein powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup espresso (cooled)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Mixture

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper to ensure the fudge can be removed easily once chilled.
  2. Melt Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips together with the coconut oil until the mixture is completely smooth and combined, typically taking about 30 seconds to 1 minute depending on your microwave.
  3. Combine Mixture: In a separate mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the chocolate protein powder, cooled espresso, almond butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Then, add in the melted chocolate and coconut oil mixture, stirring until the entire mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
  4. Pour and Set: Pour the fudge mixture into the lined pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan into the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm and set.
  5. Cut and Serve: Once firm, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper, slice into 16 equal squares, and enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • Be sure to use cooled espresso to prevent melting the chocolate mixture prematurely.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the protein powder and chocolate chips are vegan-friendly.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or cashew butter for a different flavor.
  • If you prefer a sweeter fudge, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the mixture.
