Chocolate Protein Fudge (Dairy & Gluten-Free)

It’s an easy dessert to pop in the freezer and take out when you need a chocolate hit. And as a Certified Nutrition Coach, I personally love that it’s low in calories but high in flavor.

Plus, it’s an easy one to keep a mini stash on for times when people pop over and you want to set something out (just like this protein fudge recipe).

Ingredients You’ll Need

Because there isn’t a lot in the recipe, the fudge remains solid at room temperature.

This is what gives the chocolate fudge its silky texture while keeping it solid. It’s one of the best dairy-free ingredients you can have on hand.

Coconut oil

Cacao butter

Almond butter

Any nut butter will work in the chocolate protein fudge and this is a fun way to change up the flavor! 

Dairy-free chocolate chips

I use mini chocolate chips but regular ones should work just fine. It helps sweetened the recipe while also amping up the chocolate flavor.

Honey

Opt for raw honey if possible. You don’t need a lot but you do need the extra bit of sweetness.

Collagen powder

The secret ingredient in this protein fudge! In place of protein powder, collagen powder is used. And given that it’s one of the cleanest sources of protein, it’s a great choice!

1. Combine all the ingredients except for the collagen powder and honey in a small pot (or double broiler!). 2. Heat over low until the cacao butter is just melted. 3. Quickly whisk in the honey and collagen powder until no clumps remain. 4. Portion into mini silicone molds and freeze for one hour.
