Some desserts are a one-time thing. This one isn't. Protein Brownie Pudding lives somewhere between a fudgy brownie and a warm chocolate pudding: crackly on top, silky underneath, and rich enough that one spoonful turns into three.
The secret? A spoonful of raspberry preserves and a pinch of salt. The berry adds a bright little tang that makes the chocolate taste even deeper, and the salt keeps everything from tipping into too-sweet territory. Add a few scoops of Chocolate Prime Protein and you've got a dessert that actually fits your routine, no weird ingredients required.
Why You'll Love It
- Real-food ingredients. Pasture-raised eggs, maple sugar, cacao, butter. That's the base. Nothing you can't pronounce.
- A protein boost that disappears into the batter. Chocolate Prime Protein blends in smoothly, so you get the protein without a chalky texture.
- Pudding texture, brownie flavor. Baking it in a water bath keeps the center soft and spoonable while the top sets into that classic brownie crust.
- Easy enough for a weeknight. One bowl, a couple of baking dishes, and the oven does the rest.
Ingredients
- 4 pasture-raised eggs
- 1.5 cups maple sugar
- 1/4 cup flour of choice
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 2 to 3 scoops Chocolate Prime Protein
- Dash of vanilla
- Spoonful of raspberry preserves (optional, but trust us)
- Pinch of salt
- 2 sticks butter, melted
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Make the batter. Whisk the eggs and maple sugar together, then stir in the flour, cacao powder, Chocolate Prime Protein, vanilla, raspberry preserves, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix until smooth and glossy.
- Set up the water bath. Pour the batter into a baking dish, then place that dish inside a larger dish. Fill the larger dish with hot water about halfway up. Just make sure no water splashes into your brownie batter.
- Bake for about an hour. You're looking for a set top with a soft, pudding-like center.
- Let it rest. Cool for 20 to 30 minutes, until the top hardens into that crackly brownie layer. Then dig in.
Tips for the Best Batch
- Don't skip the cooling time. It's tempting to go in hot, but the rest is what gives you the contrast between the crisp top and creamy middle.
- Start with 2 scoops of protein if it's your first time, then go up to 3 once you know how you like the texture.
- Make it a little fancy. Top with fresh raspberries, flaky salt, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Leftovers are great cold. Straight from the fridge, it eats like a dense chocolate pot de crème.
