Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese (dairy or dairy-free)
- ½ cup protein powder
- ¼ cup blueberry puree
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) granulated sugar of choice
Instructions
- Blueberry Puree: Crush blueberries into a smooth, velvety consistency using a blender or rigorous mashing technique, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Dough Preparation: Merge whey protein powder, coconut flour, blueberry puree, and cream cheese in a large mixing bowl, kneading gently until a unified, pliable dough forms.
- Texture Calibration: Fine-tune the dough’s moisture level by adding coconut flour if too wet or introducing almond milk if excessively dry, aiming for a perfectly balanced mixture.
- Ball Formation: Craft uniform spherical shapes using clean hands, rolling the protein-rich dough into consistent, compact orbs that hold their structure.
- Chilling Process: Refrigerate the protein balls for at least 15 minutes, allowing them to solidify and intensify their blueberry cheesecake flavor profile.
- Storage: Transfer the completed protein balls to an airtight container, preserving them in the refrigerator for future enjoyment and maintaining optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Master Texture Control: Adjust dough consistency by adding coconut flour or liquid in tiny increments to achieve perfect binding without compromising flavor or structure.
- Precision in Mashing: Completely pulverize blueberries into ultra-smooth puree to ensure even distribution and maximize fruity flavor throughout protein balls.
- Chilling is Crucial: Refrigerate protein balls for minimum 15 minutes to develop firm texture, enhance flavor integration, and improve overall structural stability.
- Smart Storage Strategy: Use airtight container in refrigerator to preserve freshness, maintain protein ball quality, and extend edible lifespan up to several days.
