Vanilla No-Bake Protein Truffles
Welcome to the fastest most delicious holiday recipe I have ever experimented with! I know that sometimes dinners sneak up on us, family dinner sneaks up on us, or we just don’t have time and still want to make something sweet for our families.
I found this recipe in a magazine and it’s based on a Venezuelan dessert called Venezuelan Papitas de Leche. They simplified it and I wanted to use protein powder instead of powdered milk because too much milk can upset my stomach. Plus having protein powder in there will help keep me full after enjoying a few.
One word of advice, the batter gets VERY thick at the end. So if you feel that it’s almost getting dry, stop adding dry ingredients. You might end up with 1/8 cup or 1/16 cup extra powder but just check the batter to keep a little bit tacky before you start rolling it into truffle balls.
Vanilla No-Bake Protein Truffles
Ingredients:
2 cups Detox Organics Vanilla Protein Powder
1 ½ cups of confectioners sugar, plus a small dish for dusting your hands
1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
Small sprinkles
Instructions:
- In a large bowl whisk together the protein powder and the confectioner’s sugar until they are thoroughly combined.
- In a stand mixer pour in the condensed milk. Using a paddle attachment turn the mixer to low speed and start to add the dry ingredient mix about ½ cup at a time.
- Keep mixing and adding the dry ingredients until the mixture is sticky and thick. This should just 2-3 minutes.
- On a baking sheet place a large sheet of parchment paper
- Lightly powder your hands with confectioners sugar. Take a heaping-sized tablespoon size of dough and roll between your hands until it’s a firm ball and then quickly roll through the sprinkles. Gently press the sprinkles into the call and set them on the tray.
- Place in the refrigerator and enjoy. These store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. This recipe makes about 20 truffles.
