🧁 Ingredients:

For the filling:

  • 1 tub (8 oz / about 2 ½ cups) fat-free whipped topping (like Cool Whip Free)
  • 1 packet (1 oz) sugar-free chocolate pudding mix (instant)
  • 1 scoop (25–30g) chocolate protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based — choose your favorite)
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or as needed for consistency)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for richer flavor)
  • Pinch of salt (enhances chocolate flavor)

For the coating:

  • ½ cup Lily’s no-sugar-added chocolate chips (or other sugar-free dark chocolate)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (to help melt and coat smoothly)
  • Optional: sprinkle of sea salt flakes or crushed nuts for topping

🍥 Instructions:

1️⃣ Make the Fluffy Filling

  1. In a medium bowl, combine:
    • the whipped topping,
    • sugar-free pudding mix,
    • protein powder,
    • vanilla extract, and
    • a pinch of salt.
  2. Beat with a hand mixer for 1–2 minutes until smooth, thick, and fluffy.
    • Add 1–2 tablespoons of almond milk only if needed to blend smoothly (you want a mousse-like texture).

2️⃣ Freeze and Cut

  1. Line a small baking pan or loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the mixture evenly into the pan, smoothing the top.
  3. Freeze for 1–2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  4. Remove from the freezer, lift out by the parchment, and cut into small bars or squares.

3️⃣ Dip in Chocolate

  1. Melt Lily’s chocolate chips with 1 tsp coconut oil in 20–30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring between bursts until smooth.
  2. Dip or drizzle the frozen bars with melted chocolate.
  3. Place back on the parchment-lined pan and freeze again for 15–20 minutes, until set.

⚖️ Storage:

  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
  • Let sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes before eating for the perfect soft texture.

  • Peanut butter twist: Add 1 tbsp powdered peanut butter (PB2) for a chocolate-peanut flavor.
  • Extra protein: Use Greek yogurt (½ cup) in place of part of the Cool Whip for a creamier, higher-protein filling.
