    I've been posting recipes for over a year now, and I can't believe I haven't yet posted this recipe for Protein Peanut Butter Fudge Cups! It's a twist on my Double Chocolate Protein Fudge recipe, one of my easiest!

    Like the protein fudge, these Protein Peanut Butter Fudge Cups are chewy and delicious! And there is only 1 gram of sugar in each cup!

    These aren't the kind of peanut butter cups you can throw in a bag for later, though. They get soft pretty quickly and should be eaten soon after they are taken from the freezer.

    Prep Time 10 minutes mins
    Cook Time 0 minutes mins
    Total Time 10 minutes mins
    Servings 8 peanut butter cups

    Ingredients

    Chocolate fudge:

    • ½ cup natural chocolate whey protein 45g
    • 4 teaspoons cocoa powder 8g
    • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon filtered water 75ml or more, as needed
    • ¼ cup peanut butter 64g
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt 0.6ml

    Peanut butter filling:

    • ¼ cup peanut butter 64g
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt 0.6ml

    Instructions
     

    • Mix whey protein, cocoa powder, and water until smooth.
    • Add ¼ cup peanut butter and ⅛ teaspoon salt, and mix well.
    • If your fudge batter is too thick, add a little more water. (It should be thin enough to cover the peanut butter filling well.)
    • Put a spoonful of chocolate fudge batter into each of 8 small silicone muffin cups.
    • Mix the remaining peanut butter with ⅛ teaspoon salt.
    • Spoon ½ tablespoon into each cup. If the peanut butter is thick, first flatten it out in your hand and then place it on top of the chocolate.
    • Top with another spoonful of chocolate fudge batter.
    • Freeze for about 2 hours, or until firm.
    • Enjoy! Store in the freezer.

    Notes

    A note about substitutions: You can substitute casein powder for the whey powder. For a vegan version, you can use a chocolate pea protein blend. Other vegan powders are chalkier, and wouldn't work well.
