    Made them and... WINNER.
    I doubled the recipe, put them in a larger pan and cut 12 pieces. Then I had to cut that in half

    I can't tell if they have that 'protein powder taste' a little because I'm used to it, or not. For me, they are great and a fantastic protein snack.

    When you roast the pumpkin, how do you do it?

    This sounds like a great recipe!! Thanks for sharing!!

    I followed this method: --> http://www.elanaspantry.com/how-to-roast-a-pumpkin-in-10-steps/ And you can definitely freeze any extra you have but I find it gets kind of watery after thawing so I like to use it up immediately. I supposed you could strain it through cheesecloth or something.

    Fantastic! Thank you!

    Make sure you get a pie pumpkin! They are sweeter and less stringy than the big ones. I used my Vitamix to puree it and it came out so smooth and creamy. I've done it in a food processor too which works just as well.

    They probably do a little. But I am used to the flavor as well now. Seemed like there was a lot of protein powder in the recipe.

    My biggest concern is that I am worried I will eat it all in one sitting! Good luck with your double batch. :-)

    So I decided to roast a pumpkin today to make fresh pumpkin puree. It tastes soooo much better than out of a can! Anyhow, I was looking for recipes to use it in since it doesn't keep for very long in the fridge. I found a pumpkin protein fudge recipe on Pinterest and it is so delicious that I had to share. I literally licked the bowl after I made it!

    Makes 6 servings:

    1/4 cup natural peanut butter
    4 scoops vanilla protein powder
    1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
    1/4 cup pumpkin (can use canned or fresh)
    Stevia - optional, I used about 1/2 Tbsp
    1/4 tsp cinnamon
    1 tsp vanilla
    2 Tbsp walnuts (I subbed pecans which is what I had on hand)

    Mix it all together, a whisk works best. It will be pretty sticky. Using a spatula spread the mixture into a small pan. Roughly 6x9 or so is a good size. Freeze for 1 hour. After an hour you can pull the pan out and let it sit for a few mins until the fudge is easy to cut. Cut into 6 squares and then you can re-freeze individually. The recipe said they will melt within 10-15 mins out of the freezer so its best to enjoy it right out of the freezer.

    Nutrition will vary depending on the protein powder. I used Optimum Nutrition French Vanilla Creme and got the following:

    Cals: 163, Carbs: 5, Protein: 20, Fat: 7

    Yay!! Thanks! :smile:
