Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup whey protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
- 0.5 cup pure honey
- 0.5 cup smooth almond butter
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 0.5 cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the almond butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cocoa powder and protein powder until fully incorporated.
Slowly add the almond milk a little at a time, mixing well after each addition to prevent clumping.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until distributed evenly throughout the mixture.
Add chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips, stirring gently until the chocolate is evenly mixed in.
If desired, fold in chopped walnuts or almonds for additional texture and flavor.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least two hours or until the fudge bars are firm enough to cut.
Once firm, remove the fudge from the dish using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Cut into 12 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
