NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE CAKE POPS

Ingredients

CAKE
1 scoop chocolate protein powder (I used GNC Wheybolic Extreme 60)
2 TB coconut flour
3 TB white rice flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 packet stevia extract (or your favorite sweetener)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2/3 cup Muscle Egg Chocolate egg whites
pinch salt (optional)

ADD IN
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 TB almond butter

ICING/COATING
1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder (I used GNC Wheybolic Extreme 60)
2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 packets stevia extract (or your favorite sweetener)
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
3 TB unsweetened almond milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Chocolate sprinkles (optional)

How to Prepare
1. Put all cake ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir until a smooth batter is formed.
2. Coat a microwaveable safe shallow bowl (even a Tupperware would do) with non-stick cooking spray and pour the batter into the bowl. Use a spatula to get all of it.
3. Microwave for 3-3.5 minutes or until the cake is firm in the center.
4. In the meantime, mix all icing ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until nice and smooth. Set aside.
5. Remove cake from microwave and use a potato masher (or if you don’t have one, a fork will do) to mash the cake into tiny crumbs. Note— the more crumbly you get the cake, the better the cake balls will form.
6. Add the plain Greek yogurt and almond butter and mix very well.
7. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and roll into ball shapes with your hands.
8. Stick a cake pop into the center of each ball and roll the balls into the icing mixture to coat evenly. Drop a few chocolate sprinkles on top.
9. Put on a cookie sheet coated with non-stick spray and freeze for at least one hour, or until the coating is solid.

Note: You will not need all of the icing to coat the cake pops (what you do with the leftovers can be your little secret).
