This is probably my favorite recipe in the whole entire world. Despite the gross name… which at this point I don’t have the heart to change as I’ve become rather fond of it… I eat this every.single.day. without fail. It is my pre-bedtime snack and the PERFECT fix for anyone with a chocolate-peanut-butter-craving!
My Peanut Butter Cup SLUDGE
Ingredients:
- 1 Scoop chocolate casein (I used Optimum)
- 2 TB PB2 (powdered peanut butter) or you can swap this out for 1 TB natural peanut butter
- 2 TB unsweetened baking cocoa
- Stevia to taste
- 1 TB Nevada Manna sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
Now comes the tricky part… you have all these weird ingredients that don’t seem to be mixing right? So obviously, you’re going to want to add water. BUT, my recommendation is to do this one tablespoon at a time. If this is your first rodeo, the tablespoon method is the way to go! Otherwise you’re likely to end up with a big goopy mess! I use very little water and mix mine to an extremely thick, cookie-dough-batter consistency. Once it’s mixed, pop it in the freezer for 15-30 minutes (the longer you leave it, the thicker it gets.. I opt for 30 minutes!).
Try not to die of excitement when you realize this sucker tastes JUST like a RICH, creamy chocolate peanut butter cup pudding batter…. but WITHOUT all the unhealthy added sugar and guilt! =D

This is like my dream come true, thank you sooo much for posting it!
Great recipe love peanut butter but a better alternative is almond butter.
You’re welcome Kailey!
any suggestions for chocaholics who don’t like nuts?
Thanks so much for sharing I <3it !!!
You can use any nut butter if you want, if not you can still make the sludge without the peanut butter.. it just won’t be quite as dense!

would whey protein powder work or does it have to be casein?

This sounds DELICIOUS. I read the supplement area where you discuss casein, but can you elaborate on it’s benefits before bed time? Thanks so much!

Wow I was skeptical at first but this is amazing!
Casein has a much thicker consistency… so just expect the consistency to be different..

It’s a slow digesting protein which feeds the body amino acids over an extended period of time as opposed to whey which is quickly absorbed and out of your system within an hour.

Looks delicious! This is probably a stupid question, but is one serving size the whole recipe? Also, what do you mean by “one tablespoon at a time?” Should I mix all of the ingredients, and then further mix them tablespoon by tablespoon? Sorry to ask so many questions, just want to make sure that this amazing creation is made perfectly (:
Not stupid at all! Yes it’s one serving (woo hoo!) What I mean by that is, add the water VERY slowly because you don’t want to end up with a soupy mess. The thicker it is, the better IMO. =)

omg I just put this into the freezer and the batter tasted SO good! Didn’t use any stevia though, I’m nervous to try it! I’ve heard it has a weird taste haha. Next time I make this I think I’m going to try adding a teaspoon of instant coffee or espresso! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Oh! Also used whey instead of casein. The consistency before freezing was exactly the way you described, hopefully it comes out well!

I’m new to the ‘trying to eat healthy’ world, and I don’t know what a lot of the ingredients are. Chocolate casein? Stevia? Where do you buy this stuff? Do regular old grocery stores have it or is it something you have to buy at a health food store?
