    The combination of flavors in this Pomegranate Chipotle Protein Fudge works perfectly for a burst of fruit flavor with a touch of heat. And all in a sweet protein fudge. Yum!

    I love the combination of pomegranate and chocolate. The pomegranate seeds give little juicy bursts of flavor in each bite of fudge!

    If you're not a fan of the hot pepper, you can certainly leave it out and still get a delicious chocolate pomegranate protein fudge.

    I started with my recipe for Double Chocolate Protein Fudge, adding chipotle and pomegranate seeds. An easy twist for a major transformation in flavor! Give it a try!

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup chocolate whey protein powder
    • 4 teaspoons cacao powder or cocoa powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground chipotle chili peppers
    • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
    • 3-4 tablespoons filtered water
    • ¼ cup almond butter
    • ¼ cup pomegranate seeds

    Instructions

    • Line two mini loaf pans with parchment paper.
    • Mix protein powder with cocoa, chipotle, and sea salt.
    • Add water (start with 3 tablespoons), and mix well.
    • Add almond butter. Mix well.
    • If the fudge is too thick to spoon into a pan, add another tablespoon of water. Mix well.
    • Gently fold in pomegranate seeds (reserving some to place on top, if desired).
    • Spoon fudge into parchment-lined pans. Top with any remaining pomegranate seeds.
    • Freeze for 1-2 hours, until the parchment peels cleanly from the fudge.
    • Cut into squares, and enjoy!
    • Store in the freezer.

    Notes

    Whey or a whey/casein blend would be the best in this recipe.
