Notes
When heating the chocolate protein fudge, keep it on low and remove it when the coconut oil is just melted. Otherwise, the nut butter can burn which will ruin the fudge.
You do need both the ¼ cup and ½ tablespoon of protein powder for the next texture.
When you whisk in the protein powder you need to move quickly so that it mixes smoothly.
The stevia is optional and depends on the taste of your protein powder. With a sweeter protein powder, it's not needed.
You can either portion the fudge into a parchment paper prepared loaf pan and slice it into squares when ready. Or, you can pour into individual silicone molds.
You can use cocoa powder in place of cacao powder if that's what you have. Just know you're losing some nutrient benefits.
