Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 cup chocolate protein powder
Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

1/2 cup almond butter
1/4 cup espresso (cooled)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Mixture

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup coconut oil

Instructions

Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
Melt Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips together with the coconut oil, stirring occasionally until smooth and fully combined.
Combine Mixture: In a separate mixing bowl, blend together the chocolate protein powder, cooled espresso, almond butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Then add the melted chocolate and coconut oil mixture, stirring thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, uniform mixture.
Pour and Set: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and fully set.
Cut and Serve: Once chilled, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper, slice into 16 squares, and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Ensure the espresso is fully cooled before mixing to avoid melting the protein powder.
Use a high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for richer flavor.
You can substitute almond butter with peanut or cashew butter depending on preferences.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For a firmer texture, freeze the fudge for 30 minutes before serving.
