How to Make High Protein Chocolate Dumplings
Prepare the Chocolate Sauce
Start by creating your high-protein chocolate sauce. Place the vegan chocolate protein powder in a bowl and gradually add water until you achieve a thick spreadable consistency similar to Nutella.
Slice and Dice the Fruits
Slice bananas and strawberries into thin, delectable pieces to add natural sweetness and fruity freshness to your dumplings.
Ready the Rice Paper
Dunk the rice paper sheets in water, then use scissors to cut them in half to make them more manageable for the folding process.
Assemble the High Protein Chocolate Dumplings
In the center of each rice paper sheet, spread a generous amount of chocolate sauce. Add a sprinkle of crushed peanuts, a slice of banana, and a slice of strawberry.
Fold up the rice paper, making to folds on the fruit side, then making another two folds onto the chocolate side. This will ensure the rice paper does not fall apart when pan frying. Repeat until all the filling is used.
Crispy Perfection
Pan-fry both sides of your dumplings in a touch of oil until golden and crisp.
Dust them with powdered sugar or vanilla protein powder for an added layer of flavor.
Recipe Tips For High Protein Chocolate Dumplings
