These chocolate protein fudge pops help crush night-time cravings without the sugar. Each pop has 15 g of protein and 155 Calories so you can stay on track. Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder and loads of rich cacao will certainly satisfy a sweet tooth.
This recipe is scaled to fit perfectly in a 6-well popsicle mold. You have to be a bit patient with mixing the VERY THICK batter and slowly adding it to each well, aggressively tamping the mold after adding each spoonful to remove air pockets.
Why casein protein? It’s very filling and also slower digesting compared to other protein concentrates and isolates. This recipe also works great with Trutein Chocolate (whey/egg/casein blend) – reduce the amount of nut milk (see notes). I have not tried this recipe with pure whey, but suspect it will be difficult to get the right texture.
I used Splenda, however any powdered sweetener will work. Adjust the amount as desired to get the sweetness level you want. The key is to not add additional liquids to the mixture so that ice crystals don’t form. Here’s a close-up of the texture. (Double bonus points if you have these chocolate protein fudge pops with a squirt of Hershey’s naturals chocolate syrup).
