Recipes

I Can't Believe It's Not Fudge From: Jan in AZ

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 one-ounce square unsweetened baking chocolate
• 1/3 cup full fat ricotta cheese
• 2 scoops chocolate Designer Protein Powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 10 packets Splenda
• 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds

Melt the butter and chocolate over very low heat or in microwave. Stir in the cheese, vanilla, Splenda, and protein powder. Mix well. Stir in nuts.

Let cool a few minutes, then drop by teaspoonfuls onto a foil lined cookie sheet. Freeze.

***Notes from Jan: The protein powder gives it the texture of sugar-laden fudge. The chocolate gives it the richness of real fudge. You could use any toasted or untoasted nuts, but I had almonds on hand and particularly like them toasted.

***Note from Rani: I only had vanilla praline Designer Protein on hand, so I used that plus a heaping spoonful of cocoa powder, and it worked out beautifully! Hubby says this is the BEST low carb chocolate treat I've ever made.


Protein Fudge Bars From: Debsy

• 7 scoops (2 1/3 cups) of chocolate Designer Protein
• 1/2 cup melted margarine
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.

Melt the butter and cream cheese. Mix in the Designer Protein. (This will be stiff and hard to stir.) Add the walnuts.

Place the mixture in a greased bread pan. Cool. Cut into 8 servings.

Per serving: 17.5 grams protein, 2.5 carbs

***Note from Debsy: This ends up being about the same stats as the Atkins bars. I wrap each bar in plastic and keep them in refrigerator. It sets up fairly hard, and is about the consistency of an Atkins bar. I keep them in the fridge because of the cream cheese.
