    My recipes for protein fudge are probably the easiest protein recipes on this site. Mix up the ingredients, spoon into a pan, and freeze. This recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Freezer Fudge has one extra step, a peanut butter protein swirl, but it's still so easy. And so delicious!

    Here I used the True Athlete chocolate whey protein, and I highly recommend it. It is so chocolatey! Like creamy milk chocolate. It made a delicious icing for my Black and White Protein Cookies, and is amazing for protein fudge!

    This recipe is a twist on my Almond Butter Fudge recipe. Instead of just replacing the almond butter with peanut butter, I took it a step further by adding a peanut butter protein swirl.

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Freezer Fudge, your new favorite protein treat. The only hard part is waiting for it to freeze. :)

    Ingredients

    Fudge base:

    • 1 cup chocolate whey protein powder 104g
    • 3-4 ounces filtered water ⅓ - ½ cup or 90-120ml
    • ½ cup natural peanut butter (I used crunchy!) 128g
    • ¼ teaspoon sea salt 1.2ml

    Peanut butter swirl:

    • ¼ cup powdered peanut butter 24g
    • ¼ cup vanilla whey protein powder 24g
    • 1-1.5 ounces filtered water 2-3 tablespoons or 30-45ml

    Instructions

    • Line a loaf (or similarly sized) pan with parchment paper.
    • Mix chocolate whey and water (start with 3 ounces water).
    • Add peanut butter and salt. Mix well.
    • Add water if needed to get a consistency that can be spooned into the pan. Mix well.
    • Spoon fudge into pan.
    • In a small bowl, mix powdered peanut butter, vanilla whey, and water (start with 1 ounce water, add as needed).
    • Spoon or pipe the peanut butter topping in lines across the fudge.
    • Swirl by moving the back end of a knife perpendicular to the lines of peanut butter topping.
    • Freeze for several hours, until the fudge peels cleanly from the parchment and is firm throughout.
    • Cut into 18 squares (6x3 for a loaf pan).
    • Enjoy! Store in the freezer.

    Notes

    A note about substitutions: You can substitute casein powder for the whey powder. For a dairy-free/vegan version, you could use a chocolate pea protein blend in the fudge, and omit the protein powder in the peanut butter swirl. Other vegan powders are chalkier, and wouldn't work well. You could also use 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in place of the powdered peanut butter (and then half the amount of water).
