Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Biscuit Base

Begin by whisking together the 3 large eggs and 0.5 grams of sweetener for several minutes until light and frothy. Make sure the eggs are well-aerated to create a nice texture for the biscuits.

Next, sift in the remaining ingredients: 60-65 grams of rice flour, 15 grams of protein powder, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. If the mixture seems too runny, you can add a bit more flour. The desired consistency should resemble a video you've seen demonstrating the batter.

After achieving the right consistency, carefully mix everything together and use a spoon or piping bag to place dollops of the mixture onto parchment paper. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 10-20 minutes or until lightly golden.

Step 2

Make the Cream Filling

For the creamy filling, combine 200 grams of ricotta cheese, 2 tablespoons of cream cheese (if using), and 0.5 grams of sweetener in a bowl. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Once that’s done, add the 7 grams of gelatin that has been dissolved in 2 tablespoons of warm milk to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine, ensuring the gelatin is evenly distributed throughout the cream.

Step 3

Assemble the Choco Pie

Once the biscuit bases are cooled down, take one biscuit and spread a generous amount of the cream filling onto it. Place a second biscuit on top to form a sandwich. Press gently to secure the filling between the biscuits.

Step 4

Decorate and Serve

If desired, you can decorate your choco pies with some sugar-free chocolate and fresh berries for an extra delicious treat. This adds a nice visual appeal and enhances the flavor significantly.

Variations

If you're looking to customize your Strawberry Protein Choco Pies, here are some exciting variations:

  • Gluten-Free Version: Substitute rice flour with almond flour or coconut flour for a gluten-free treat that's just as light and fluffy. 🌾🚫
  • Vegan Option: Replace the eggs with a flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water = 1 egg), and choose a plant-based protein powder. Use vegan gelatine or agar-agar for the cream. πŸ₯‘πŸŒ±

Both variations ensure that everyone can enjoy a deliciously guilt-free dessert!

Faq

  • What can I use instead of protein powder?

    You can use additional rice flour or a different flour of your choice, but keep in mind the texture and flavor may vary.

  • How do I know when the cookie bases are done baking?

    Watch for a light golden color on the edges; they should spring back lightly when touched!

  • Can I use fresh strawberries in the cream instead of vanilla?

    Yes, adding fresh strawberries will give your cream a lovely flavor and a beautiful color!

  • Can I freeze these choco pies?

    Absolutely! They freeze well; just make sure to wrap them tightly. Thaw before serving for the best flavor and texture.

  • What can I do if my cookies are too dry?

    If your choco pie cookies turn out dry, next time try reducing the baking time slightly or adding a little more moisture like a splash of milk.

  • How can I make these more chocolatey?

    Feel free to add cocoa powder to the cookie dough or drape melted dark chocolate over the finished pies!
