I Can't Believe It's Not Fudge

[Ellise]

2 tablespoons Butter

1 (1-ounce) square unsweetened baking chocolate

1/3 cup ricotta cheese

2 scoops chocolate Designer Protein Powder

1 teaspoon vanilla

10 packages Splenda

1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds

 

Melt butter and chocolate over very low heat or in microwave.  

Stir in cheese, vanilla, Splenda, and protein powder, mixing well.  

Stir in nuts.  

Let cool a few minutes, then drop onto foil lined cookie sheet.

Freeze.  

The protein powder gives it the texture of sugar-laden fudge.

The chocolate gives it the richness of real fudge.  

You could use any toasted or un-toasted nuts, but I had almonds on hand and particularly like them toasted.

(This one is awesome)

That sounds good. I love fudge. I try to make it every Christmas (and if I don't get it done I just bring home what my mom has left over...lol)

This sounds good. We have several diabetics in our family and I tried to make sugar free fudge with splenda last Christmas and it was unedible! 4 star yuck!!! I will try this out soon, what a treat for the sugar free bunch. I am assuming the protein powder is like instant breakfast drink, I will ask my health nut brother exactly what it is. I know he was drinking it for awhile.
