Holiday Gingerbread Protein Truffles

Makes 12-14 truffles

Directions

Combine all the ingredients except for the milk in a medium-sized bowl. Slowly add in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, so that a dough forms, but is not too sticky or wet.

Since different protein powders vary in terms of how dry they are, you may need more or less liquid. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more protein powder. If it’s too dry, add a little more milk.

Once you’ve mixed everything together and have a dough to work with, use your hands to shape the dough into 1 to 2 inch balls.

Place the truffles on wax paper to keep from sticking, and stick them in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes.

Once the truffles are chilled, remove them from the fridge and melt your chocolate over a stovetop, making sure not to burn the chocolate.

Dip the truffles into the melted chocolate, covering them completely. Sprinkle with cocoa powder, then return to the wax paper and place the truffles back in the fridge.
