Author: Spencer Miller aka MacroChef
Serves: 9 cups
Ingredients
1 cup dark chocolate chips*
1 tbsp. coconut oil
¼ cup natural, creamy almond butter
¼ cup strawberry jam
1½ scoops unflavored whey protein powder (or vanilla)
Instructions
Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 30 second intervals, stirring every 30 seconds, until chocolate chips are completely melted.
Set out 9 mini muffin liners. Spoon about ½ a tablespoon of melted chocolate into each.
While chocolate is still liquid, rotate each of the liners on it’s side and spin so that chocolate can coat the sides.
Place in freezer for about 10 minutes to let the chocolate set. While cooling, make strawberry peanut butter filling.
In a bowl, add almond butter. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds to make more of a liquid and easier to mix.
Add jam to melted almond butter. Mix. Add protein powder. Mix again until well incorporated. Will make a thick almost sticky mixture.
Take cooled chocolate filled liners out of freezer. Add about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter filling. I rolled each tablespoon into a ball, but it inside the chocolate, and then pressed it down a little to flatten it.
Top each evenly with remaining melted chocolate. Place back in freezer/refrigerator to chill and harden. Enjoy!
