Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup rice malt syrup
  • 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 10 raspberries
  • 75 g 85% dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Mix peanut butter, rice malt syrup and protein powder together in a bowl. (add extra protein powder or some almond meal if the mixture is too wet, you want it to be workable like moist play dough).
  • Divide the dough into 10 equal portions.
  • Flatten each portion out on to a piece of baking paper and add 1 frozen raspberry into the centre of each. Bring edges up around the raspberry and roll into a ball.
  • Place the balls in the fridge or freezer while melting the chocolate.
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a bain-marie.
  • Dip each of the balls into the melted chocolate, one at a time, and toss with a spoon or fork until evenly coated. Place back onto the baking paper and repeat with remaining balls.
  • Once coated, refrigerate or freeze for 20-30 mins or until the chocolate has set.
