Ingredients:
- 120g or 200g low-sugar chocolate (depending on thickness preference)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
For the Filling:
- 30g Biscoff spread (or almond butter)
- 30g coconut yogurt (or plant-based milk)
- 40g vanilla or salted caramel protein powder
Instructions:
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the low-sugar chocolate with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring between each round until smooth.
- Prepare the Chocolate Base: Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of melted chocolate into the base of 6 lined muffin cups to form a thin layer. Place the tray in the freezer for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the Biscoff spread with the coconut yogurt until smooth. Then, add the protein powder and stir until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Filling: Roll the filling into 6 small balls and press each gently onto the hardened chocolate base in the muffin cups.
- Cover with Remaining Chocolate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the top of each filling, making sure to fully cover the balls. For a thinner, more macro-friendly chocolate shell, use 120g of chocolate. For a thicker, more indulgent version, use 200g.
- Chill and Set: Place the muffin tin in the fridge or freezer to allow the protein cups to set, about 15-20 minutes, until the chocolate is firm.
- Storage: Store the Biscoff protein cups in a sealed container in the fridge for a softer texture or in the freezer for a firmer consistency.
Enjoy these delicious and protein-packed Biscoff cups whenever you need a satisfying, healthy snack!
