Servings: 8 pieces
Calories: 55kcal
Ingredients
Filling:
- ½ cup strawberry whey protein powder 48g
- ¼ cup Neufchâtel cheese 56g, at room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla stevia
Chocolate coating:
- 24 g unsweetened chocolate
- 2 mini scoops stevia powder or to taste
Drizzle (optional, amounts approximate):
- 3 tablespoons confectioners erythritol
- ½ teaspoon red superfood drink powder
Instructions
- Mix whey, Neufchâtel cheese, and stevia until combined.
- Roll into 8 balls, and place on a parchment-lined tray. Set in refrigerator. (If they are sticky and the balls don't come smooth, freeze them for about 5-10 minutes and then roll again to smooth.)
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, and transfer to a smaller bowl. Add stevia and mix well.
- Remove truffles from the refrigerator, and use a fork to dip each in the melted chocolate. Set back on parchment, and place back in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes. If you have additional chocolate, give them a second coating.
- Once chocolate coating is set, mix drizzle ingredients (if desired), and drizzle onto truffles.
- Enjoy! Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
Nutrition info is without the drizzle, but that would barely change it.
A note about substitutions: if using casein or a whey/casein blend, you may need to add some water to get it to mix together.
