    After making my Cake Batter Protein Truffles, I thought I'd try adding some natural coloring to make Protein Candy Corn. And it worked! These are delicious, and they have the perfect consistency for candy corn!

    I used fresh carrot juice for the orange layer, and turmeric for the yellow. The original whey I used tasted like cake batter, and I think this cake batter whey isolate would make a great sub. But any vanilla whey protein should work (you may need to adjust the liquid amounts).

    I layered the batters, cut long slices, and made diagonal cuts for the candy corn shape.

    Prep Time 1 hour hr
    Cook Time 0 minutes mins
    Total Time 1 hour hr
    Servings 6 servings (25 pieces per serving)

    Ingredients

    Orange layer:

    • ½ cup cake batter whey isolate 51g
    • 2 tablespoons coconut flour 14g
    • 2 tablespoons carrot juice 30ml

    Yellow layer:

    • 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce 15ml
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground turmeric 0.6ml
    • ¼ cup cake batter whey isolate 26g
    • 1 tablespoon coconut flour 7g

    White layer:

    • ¼ cup cake batter whey isolate 26g
    • 1 tablespoon coconut flour 7g
    • 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce 15ml

    Instructions
     

    • Mix each color batter in a separate bowl. When you make the yellow batter, mix the turmeric in the applesauce before adding whey and coconut flour.
    • Shape each dough into a rectangle, approximately 3"x5". (The orange dough will be twice as thick as the others.)
    • Layer the colors with the orange in the middle.
    • Slice into strips about ¼" wide.
    • To make the candy corn, make alternating diagonal cuts into each strip (see photo above).
    • Smooth the shape with your fingers (if desired).
    • Enjoy!

    Notes

    A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture, I would not try substituting different types of protein powders in this recipe. (See my Recipe Basics video for examples of what goes wrong when you use the wrong protein powder.)
