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:

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).
