Matcha Mint Protein “Ice Cream” Filling

🔮 INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Form the Cauldron Shells

1. In a food processor, pulse the Catalina Crunch cookie outsides + B.T.R. brownie bars into fine crumbs.

2. Add softened cashew butter and mix until a dough forms; add water gradually if needed to bind.

3. Scoop ~1 small cookie-scoop of crust mixture into each cavity of a 24-cup silicone mini muffin tin, pressing up the sides to form mini cauldrons.

4. Freeze for 10–15 minutes until firm. Pop them gently out if needed and keep frozen while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Make the Matcha Mint Filling

1. Prepare your “ice cream” base using a cottage-cheese ice cream or use Erica's cottage cheese ice cream recipe to make your own. Add vanilla protein powder, matcha powder, and insides of Catalina Crunch Chocolate Mint sandwich cookies and blend.
   

2. Scoop the mixture into each frozen shell, filling them nearly to the top.

Step 3: Top, Freeze, & Serve

1. Sprinkle each filled cauldron with crumbled B.T.R. bar bits and chopped dark chocolate.

2. Insert a halved pretzel stick as a “handle"

3. Freeze for 2–3 hours, or until firm.

4. Keep stored in the freezer until ready to enjoy!
