150 grams (½ cup) Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese (nonfat or full-fat)

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Add to a medium bowl Greek yogurt with protein powder and cocoa powder. If you are using unflavored protein powder, adjust the sweetness with about a tablespoon of your favorite sweetener.
Stir very well, until all ingredients are combined. If the mixture is too dry and powdery, fix the texture with a drop of milk until it gets smooth yet still thick.
Line a bowl of about 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter with plastic food wrap, lightly greased. This step will make it easier to extract the protein dessert.
Transfer the protein batter onto the lined bowl and freeze for at least 2 hours. Before serving, remove from the plastic wrap and place in a plate.

Notes

This recipe uses chocolate flavored whey protein powder. As different protein powders have different characteristics, the dessert recipe may require two small adaptations.

Texture: If using vegan protein powder or casein, you may need to fix the consistency of the batter with up to 3 tablespoons of milk. This is likely to occur because plant based protein powders and casein are more absorbent than whey.
Taste: If using unflavored protein powder, you may need to adjust the dessert flavor with additional sweeteners. Try tasting and add as much as you feel necessary.

I recommend making this frozen yogurt dessert with whey protein powder, chocolate or vanilla flavored.
