Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 1-2 scoops chocolate or vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, optional, to taste

Optional Fudge Add-Ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, almonds, pecans or macadamias
  • Extra chopped nuts for topping
  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
  • Cacao nibs

Instructions

  • Pour the coconut milk or cream into a small saucepan and gently warm over low heat. Do not boil.
    Remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Leave for 1–2 minutes to soften.
    Whisk gently until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
    Whisk in the protein powder, vanilla and sea salt. Add honey or maple syrup if you want additional sweetness.
    If the mixture is very thick, add a small splash of warm coconut milk and whisk until smooth.
    Divide between small jars or serving glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thick and creamy.
    Top with berries, coconut, chopped nuts or cacao nibs if desired.
    To Make Chocolate Protein Fudge
    Pour the finished chocolate mixture into a small baking-paper-lined loaf tin or container.
    Stir through the chopped nuts and spread evenly.
    Refrigerate for several hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
    Cut into 16-20 small squares or your preferred size and store in the refrigerator.
    For a firmer texture, place the fudge in the freezer for 20–30 minutes before slicing.
    Store the mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
    Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.
