S'mores Protein Pudding Pie - Nik's

By LadyJ1114

(This yields a family-sized or share-able pie. If you'd like smaller portions, this also makes about 8 ramekins worth of pie, which can be frozen for up to two months, if wrapped properly.)

Ingredients

• 2 (1 oz.) boxes sugar-free chocolate pudding mix
• 3 scoops unflavored protein powder
• 1 T. cocoa
• 2 -1/4 c. milk
• 1/4 c. Torani Sugar-free S'mores flavored syrup
• 1 tub (8 oz.) whipped topping (low-fat, fat-free, your choice)
• 1 crumb pie crust

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together pudding mix, protein powder and cocoa powder until thoroughly combined.

Add milk and blend whatever way you see fit (that particular evening I didn't feel like breaking out the mixer so I just whisked by hand). The mixture will be thick and it may appear slightly gritty. If so, add a bit more milk (try adding 2 tbsp. at a time) until it gets better. In my experience, protein pudding is always at least slightly gritty. And did I mention the mixture would be THICK?

Spread the mixture in your pie crust evenly. It should only come about 3/4 of the way up the crust. Then top with whipped topping. Cover it (that's where the premade crust comes in handy as it has a plastic dome top) and refrigerate an hour before serving.
