Ingredients
One Pack of Six Graham Cracker Mini Crusts
24 grams Peanuts
24 Chocolate Chips
One serving MTS Peanut Butter Cookies and Cream Protein Powder
6 ounces of Vanilla Greek Yogurt Fat-Free
Just a little bit of Egg Whites, 2-4 teaspoons
Toothpick to spread the chocolate and peanut butter.
Recipe Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Chop the chocolate chips into small pieces, the finer the better.
Chop the peanuts into small pieces.
When the oven has preheated, brush the graham cracker mini crusts with egg whites and place in the oven for five minutes.
Remove the crusts from the oven and immediately spread the chocolate in the bottom of the crusts. It should soften immediately but its ok to put the crusts with chocolate back in the oven for a minute to help speed the process.
Use a toothpick to spread the chocolate across the bottom of the crust if necessary.
Place the crusts in the freezer for five minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
Place one teaspoon of peanut butter on top of the chocolate in the crusts and spread it out with a toothpick.
Place the crusts back in the freezer for 5-10 minutes until the peanut butter has thickened and hardened.
Thoroughly mix one serving of Peanut Butter Cookies and Cream protein powder into six ounces of Greek yogurt.
Remove crusts from the freezer and evenly distribute the yogurt mixture into the six crusts. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top of the yogurt and place your mini pies into the freezer for hardening.
The mini-pies can be eaten immediately or after freezing. They will have a better consistency after they have been frozen.
That's all it takes to make these delicious Peanut Butter Cookies and Cream Mini Pies. They will last in the freezer as long as your self-discipline will allow. Good luck making them last longer than two days. BOOM!
