Step-by-Step
1
Prep and melt
Preheat oven to 175 °C / 350 °F. Line a 20 × 20 cm (8 × 8 in) metal pan with parchment. Gently melt dark chocolate + coconut oil over a bain-marie or 50 % microwave bursts. Cool to just-warm.
2
Build the wet base
In a large bowl whisk eggs, egg whites, applesauce, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and 3 dropperfuls Brazza™ drops until smooth.
3
Combine dry ingredients
In a second bowl sift together whey isolate, almond flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt. Break up all protein clumps (critical for a silky crumb).
4
Bring it together
Stream the melted chocolate mixture into the wet base while whisking. Fold in the dry mix with a silicone spatula just until no dry streaks remain—batter will be thick but pourable.
5
Bake
Spread evenly in pan. Bake 18 – 20 min (center should still look slightly under-set; carry-over heat finishes it). Over-baking dries whey-rich batters.
6
Cool & portion
Cool 10 min in pan, then lift via parchment and cool fully on a rack. Slice into 12 equal squares.

Pro-Tips
- Sweetness tweaks: Taste-test the raw batter and adjust Brazza amount to desired intensity.
- Texture insurance: If batter is very stiff (some whey isolates thicken aggressively), fold in 1–2 Tbsp warm water or coffee for classic fudge chew.
- Flavor variants: Stir 40 g chopped walnuts or 30 g sugar-free chocolate chips into batter just before baking without altering macros significantly.
