Theoretical Protein Oreo recipe
I was working hard when I suddenly had this great idea to make fake oreo protein cookies. I googled a few fake oreo recipes and combined it with a few things I’d read on the forums protein bar recipe page and voila.
Please note I have not tried making these yet and haven’t got calorie king in front of me to do macros, so these could be aweful but if your game, please give it a go. I’ve gotta go and buy choc whey and pudding mix (I’m hoping weight watcher stuff works).
* COOKIES:
1/2 cup splenda / AS
1/2 cup prune butter
1/4 cup FF cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup choc whey
1/2 cups choc pudding mix ?
1/4 cup (2 1/4 ounces) Dutch-process cocoa powder*
FILLING**:
1/2 envelope (1 teaspoon plus heaping 1/4 teaspoon) unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) cold water
1/2 cup FF cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cups (10 ounces) vanilla whey (or choc)
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and prune butter and cream cheese. Add the salt, egg, water, and vanilla and beat until smooth. Beat in the whey and cocoa until well combined; the dough will be very stiff.
Roll the dough into chestnut sized balls and flatten to 4mm thick on a silicon baking sheet or parchment. Repeat for all dough. Place on a baking sheet and broil/o-h-grill for 2-3 minutes each side.
Allow to cool.
TO MAKE THE FILLING: Soften the gelatin in a cup containing the 2 tablespoons of cold water, then place the cup in a larger dish of hot water and leave it there until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the liquid is transparent. Remove the gelatin from the hot water and let it cool until it’s room temperature but hasn’t begun to set.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream the cream cheese, then beat in the vanilla and the vanilla whey, a little at a time, beating until the mixture is light and creamy Beat in the gelatin.
Make the Sandwiches.
Makes about 50 sandwich cookies
Prune butter: 8 oz Pitted prunes + 6 tb Water or fruit juice blended (makes 1.5 cups)
