I’m  not really sure why, but today I really wanted chocolate cake and ice cream today. Well, actually I do know why. How could anyone not want chocolate cake and ice cream? So, the only option was to make a fudge brownie sundae protein mugcake. The name is a mouthful, but a very delicious one. Trust me.

I decided to go with casein protein for this mugcake. It really gives a dense and fudgy texture that is just perfect for a fudge brownie. If you want a more fluffy cake, you could use whey protein, but you will also need to reduce the amount of milk in the recipe. Whey protein does not absorb nearly as much liquid as casein.

As always, I can never stop with just the cake.  It isn’t a sundae without the ice cream so I had to add some mud pie ice cream to the top. I have never had mud pie ice cream before today, but I am definitely hooked on it. I just saw it in the ice cream aisle and decided to try it. Whoever invented it is definitely a genius. It is coffee ice cream mixed with pieces of cookie and chocolate fudge swirl. Yes, definitely genius.
