High-Protein Chocolate-Nut Cream with Protero Protein78 Cocoa

A creamy chocolate-nut cream doesn't necessarily have to be full of sugar. With Protero Protein78 Cocoa, you can create a high-protein alternative to classic chocolate spread that tastes intensely chocolatey, is pleasantly nutty, and is highly versatile. This is how you make a quick low-carb alternative to well-known chocolate spreads.

The combination of high-quality cocoa whey, nut butter, and a customizable sweetener creates a balanced cream with a high protein content and significantly less sugar than many conventional chocolate-nut spreads. The recipe is ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy their food consciously without giving up a creamy chocolate flavor. Especially practical: The consistency can be easily adjusted — a little more milk makes the cream softer and scoopable, while slightly less liquid creates a firmer bread spread.

This recipe shows how easily cocoa whey can be incorporated into everyday life.

**Yields:** approx. 1 jar / 8–10 servings
**Protein:** approx. 10–14 g per serving, depending on the nut butter and milk

Ingredients

* 120 g hazelnut butter or almond butter
* 60 g Protero Protein78 Cocoa
* 80–120 ml milk, depending on the desired consistency
* 20–30 g erythritol, xylitol, honey, dates, or maple syrup
* 10 g dark baking cocoa, optional for a more intense chocolate flavor
* 1 pinch of salt
* 1 tsp vanilla extract or a little ground vanilla
* optional: 1 tsp ghee or hazelnut oil for extra creaminess

Preparation

1. Add the nut butter, Protero Protein78 Cocoa, sweetener, salt, and vanilla to a bowl.
2. Gradually stir in the milk until a creamy, spreadable consistency is achieved.
3. For a more intense chocolate-nut flavor, optionally mix in the baking cocoa and a little oil.
4. Taste and add more sweetener or liquid if necessary.
5. Pour into a clean jar and store in the refrigerator.

Tip for an extra creamy consistency

Let the cream sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes and then stir vigorously again. The protein thickens slightly over time, so it is best to mix it slightly more liquid at the beginning.

Whole food preparation

If you want to process all the ingredients in their original form (whole food), you will need a very good blender to make nut butter from nuts. Please follow the preparation instructions for your blender for this purpose. We will skip this step. 

Uses

Perfect as a high-protein bread spread, topping for porridge, pancakes, yogurt, quark, or as a chocolate-nut dip with banana and berries.

Shelf life: approx. 4–5 days in the refrigerator.
