Notes

  • Storage: Keep no-bake desserts refrigerated for up to 5 days. Brownies and cookies stay fresh in an airtight container.
  • Keto-Friendly Version: Use almond flour and sugar-free sweeteners.
  • Vegan Option: Swap whey protein for pea or rice protein, and replace milk with plant-based alternatives.
  • Best Texture: Casein protein creates thicker, creamier desserts, while whey makes lighter treats.
