Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 scoop (25-30 g) chocolate protein powder
  • 3–4 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar-free instant pudding mix (optional)
  • 1 low-calorie cookie, crushed
  • Sweetener to taste (stevia or monk fruit)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Base Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the chocolate protein powder, plain Greek yogurt, and 3 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  2. Add Cocoa and Sweeten: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, and your preferred sweetener such as stevia or monk fruit. Mix well and taste, adjusting sweetness as needed for your preference.
  3. Incorporate Pudding Mix (Optional): If using, stir in the sugar-free instant pudding mix. Let the mixture sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken and develop a creamy texture.
  4. Prepare Cookie Crumbs: Crush the low-calorie cookie into fine crumbs. Layer half of the cookie crumbs into the bottom of a serving cup or bowl.
  5. Assemble the Dirt Cup: Spoon the prepared chocolate protein pudding over the cookie crumbs layer. Then, top with the remaining cookie crumbs, creating a dirt-like appearance.
  6. Chill or Serve Immediately: For the best texture, chill the dessert in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving. Alternatively, enjoy it immediately if preferred.
