  • Use a spoon to press it down firmly, letting the mixture come up on the sides.

Notes

Know that this recipe is listed as a single-serve cookie crust dessert but you can easily double and triple it.
You can enjoy it as a no-bake dessert or bake it in the oven; it’s versatile!
If your protein isn’t sweet, you’ll want to add one teaspoon of maple syrup to the mixture. Cut in one teaspoon of coconut oil if you’re doing this.
Chop the dates as finely as you can before you start. Finer pieces hold the crust together better.
Enjoy the protein crust with something as soon as it’s made, but know that it tastes even better if it has time to sit in the fridge and firm up.
I use Equip protein for its sweet flavor and high quality. If you try it, use code mamabear to save some money.
