Carnivore Profiteroles

It is our 25th wedding anniversary this year and Craig is taking me to Paris! A dessert you will find everywhere in Paris is profiteroles which is a delicious puff filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with chocolate! I had to create a healthy carnivore version for all of you!

Why Equip Prime Protein Powder Works So Well in Carnivore Profiteroles

When most people think of protein powder, they think of shakes. But some protein powders do far more than blend into a bottle. They can actually improve the texture, structure, and satisfaction of recipes, especially desserts.

That is one of the reasons Equip Prime Protein can work so well in dessert-style recipes.

According to Equip, Prime Protein is made from grass-fed beef and bones and provides about 21 grams of complete protein per serving, along with naturally occurring collagen and gelatin. Equip also markets it as free from dairy, whey, gluten, and soy, which makes it appealing for people who want a protein option without many of the ingredients commonly found in conventional powders.

It Adds Protein Without Making Desserts Feel Like “Diet Food”

One of the biggest challenges with high-protein desserts is that they often feel dry, chalky, or overly artificial. A dessert may have more protein on paper, but if the texture is disappointing, most people will not make it again.

Equip Prime tends to fit desserts especially well because it is positioned as a rich, creamy protein powder rather than a thin, highly processed isolate. Equip describes it as tasting like dessert and highlights its creamy texture, which helps explain why it works well in recipes like puddings, mug cakes, and other spoonable or soft-baked treats.

That matters because a good dessert should still feel indulgent. If a protein powder can contribute to that creamy, satisfying mouthfeel, it becomes much easier to create desserts that support your goals without feeling like a compromise.

The Collagen and Gelatin Can Improve Texture

This is where Equip Prime stands out.

Because Equip states that Prime Protein contains naturally occurring collagen and gelatin, it often has a thicker, more structured quality than many standard protein powders. In practical terms, that can be very helpful in desserts. It can support a creamier pudding, a softer mug cake, a more stable cheesecake filling, or a dessert that holds together better after chilling.

Instead of simply adding protein, it can also help shape the final result.

For desserts, that is a real advantage. Texture is everything.

It Can Make Desserts More Filling and Satisfying

A dessert that includes a meaningful dose of protein is often much more satisfying than one built mostly around sugar and starch. Since Equip says Prime provides about 21 grams of complete protein per serving, using it in desserts can help turn a sweet treat into something more substantial.

That can be useful for people who want:

  • a more balanced dessert

  • a higher-protein snack

  • a post-workout treat

  • something sweet that does not leave them hungry again an hour later

This is one of the simplest ways to make desserts work harder for you. Instead of dessert being purely recreational, it can also support fullness and better protein intake.

It Works Well for People Avoiding Dairy or Whey

Many dessert recipes use whey protein, but not everyone tolerates whey well. Some people simply prefer to avoid dairy. Equip specifically promotes Prime Protein as dairy-free, whey-free, gluten-free, and soy-free, which broadens its usefulness in recipes for people with those preferences or sensitivities.

That means you can create creamy, protein-rich desserts like my protein ice cream in my carnivore profiteroles.

For someone trying to keep ingredients simple, that can be a major benefit.

A Few Practical Tips When Using It in Desserts

Because Equip Prime contains collagen and gelatin and is not marketed as a heavily processed powder, it may behave differently than whey in recipes. It can thicken more quickly and create a denser texture. Equip also notes that it is made from a short list of ingredients rather than fillers and additives, which may contribute to that more natural texture.

In recipes like my protein ice cream, the thicker texture can actually become part of the appeal.

Final Thoughts

Equip Prime Protein can be a smart addition to desserts because it does more than increase protein. It can also improve texture, create a creamier result, and make desserts more satisfying. With about 21 grams of complete protein per serving and naturally occurring collagen and gelatin, it seems especially well suited to desserts that benefit from body and richness. Equip also markets it as free from dairy, whey, gluten, and soy, which makes it a flexible option for many people.

In other words, it helps bridge the gap between dessert and function.

A good dessert should taste good. A great dessert can also help support your goals.

Ingredients
  

ICE CREAM FILLING:

CHOCOLATE SAUCE:

Instructions
 

  • To make the carnivore profiteroles, preheat oven to 300 degrees F. In a bowl, whip egg whites with salt until peaks are very stiff (about 5 minutes). Slowly mix in protein powder. In separate bowl, blend cream cheese and allulose. Gently fold in the cream cheese mixture into the stiff egg whites.
  • Grease a cookie sheet or a medium size muffin tin. Form 24 balls that are about 1 1/2 inches round (an ice cream scooper works great for this). Bake for 10-15 minutes (or until golden brown). Remove pans from oven and let cool on a cooling rack. Set aside while you make the ice cream and chocolate sauce.
  • To make the ice cream filling, place the heavy cream into a blender and puree until light and fluffy. Add the rest of the ingredients and gently pulse to combine well. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking.
  • Place the protein ice cream into an ice cream maker and follow the directions of your ice cream maker. (click HERE to find the ice cream maker I LOVE)! Set in the freezer until ready to consume the profiteroles.
  • To make the chocolate sauce, place the cream and natural sweeteners in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the finely chopped chocolate, extract and salt. Stir, then allow to sit for 3 minutes. Stir again until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Allow to cool a little before assembling the profiteroles.
  • For serving, cut each profiterole in half crosswise, fill with a small scoop of ice cream, replace the top, and drizzle with slightly warm chocolate sauce.

“Hi Maria! Guess what I just made?!?! I used your new Chicken Fries recipe base and turned it into a carnivore cornbread dressing, aka chicken and dressing, like we eat down here in Arkansas on Thanksgiving!
