These Healthy High-Protein Strawberry Fudge Cups combine rich cocoa and fresh strawberries for a guilt-free indulgence that’s quick, easy, and packed with protein.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (120g) vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh ripe strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup (75g) coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup (60g) creamy unsweetened almond butter
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: chia seeds or flax seeds for extra fiber

Instructions

  1. Rinse and finely chop about 1 cup (150g) of fresh strawberries. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup (120g) vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder, and a pinch of sea salt until no lumps remain.
  3. In a separate bowl, gently melt 1/3 cup (75g) coconut oil. Add 1/4 cup (60g) almond butter, 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup or honey, 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Slowly pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients while whisking continuously to form a thick, smooth batter. Add almond milk by tablespoon if too stiff.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to mash them.
  6. Spoon the mixture evenly into 12 silicone muffin cups or paper liners placed on a baking sheet. Smooth the tops.
  7. Place the tray in the freezer for at least 1 hour until the fudge cups are firm to the touch.
  8. Pop the cups out of their liners and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

If fudge is too crumbly, add more coconut oil for moisture. If too soft, reduce liquid or chill longer. Use quality protein powder to avoid chalkiness. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well. For nut-free version, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
