Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 39 grams chocolate protein powder
- 3/4 C. (12 Tbsp.) powdered peanut butter (96 grams PBFit, 78 grams PB2*)
- 1/4 C. water*
- 68 g. chocolate chips
- Sea salt
Instructions
- Combine and mix the powdered peanut butter and chocolate protein powder. Weighing the powdered peanut butter is recommended. Check the back of container to see how many grams equals a tablespoon.
- Add the 1/4 C. water. If the mixture is too dry, add water one teaspoon at a time, mixing well after each teaspoon. The desired consistency is a dense, sticky, fudgy paste that you can roll into balls.
- Separate the fudge mixture into six equal scoops. Roll each scoop between the palms of your hands to create a uniform ball shape.
- Place each ball on a piece of parchment paper and place in the fridge or freezer to harden.
- While the balls are being chilled, measure out the chocolate chips in a small bowl. Prepare a work area that will include a chocolate dipping station, drying station, and easily accessible sea salt.
- After the fudge balls have chilled for 15-20 minutes, remove them from the freezer.
- Heat the chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 minute, adding 15 second increments, if needed, until the chocolate is melted.
- At your work station, dip the chocolate fudge balls into the melted chocolate chip mixture, making sure all sides are evenly coated. Place the coated ball on a fork and gently tap on the side of the bowl to get extra chocolate off. Place the coated fudge ball onto a plate or parchment paper. Sprinkle with sea salt, and repeat the process for the rest of the fudge balls.
- Place the coated protein fudge balls in the fridge until the chocolate hardens.
- Store in the fridge, and enjoy!
Notes
- The consistency of each powdered peanut butter is a bit different. 12 tablespoons has a different weight for each. This may require an extra tablespoon of water, depending on which brand you use.
- Start with 1/4 cup water, and if the consistency is too dry and not fudgy, add water 1 tsp. at a time. When I used PBFit, I used an extra four teaspoons (1 1/3 Tbsp.).
- The recipe calls for an exact amount of chocolate chips. You may need to scrape the edges of the bowl to coat the last fudge ball completely. If you would like more chocolate, you can always start with more in the original bowl or melt a second round if you run out.
