- 150 grams (½ cup) Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese (nonfat or full-fat)
- 30 grams (⅓ cup) protein powder chocolate flavored, see notes*
- 20 grams (2 tbsp) cocoa powder
Only if necessary
- up to 3 tbsp milk of choice if necessary, see notes*
- preferred sweetener if using unflavored protein powder, see notes*
- 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.

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.
