Combining rich chocolate, bold espresso, and a crunchy Biscoff base, these High-Protein Lotus Mocha Whip Jars taste like a decadent dessert while packing an impressive 32g of protein per jar.
A quick note on nutrition: while social media captions love claiming “5g of carbs,” traditional Biscoff cookies and spread contain roughly 5g to 8g of carbs per single biscuit alone. To keep your macro targets low-carb as advertised, use sugar-free protein powder, zero-calorie sweetener, and finely crushed low-carb or keto-friendly spiced biscuits!

Ingredients (Per Jar)
For the Base & Top Crunch:
1 to 2 Biscoff lotus cookies (or low-carb speculaas biscuits), crushed
1 tsp Dark chocolate chips or sugar-free chocolate shavings (for topping)
For the Mocha Protein Whip:
3/4 cup (170g) Plain non-fat Greek yogurt or thick Icelandic skyr
1 scoop (30g) Chocolate or mocha whey/casein protein powder
1 tsp Instant espresso powder (dissolved in 1 tbsp warm water)
1 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
1 to 2 tbsp Liquid stevia, monk fruit, or preferred sweetener to taste
1 tbsp Cookie butter (melted, for swirling or drizzling – optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Base
1. Crush the Biscoff cookies into medium-coarse crumbs.
2. Layer half of the crushed crumbs into the bottom of a glass mason jar to create the crust base.
Step 2: Whip the Mocha Filling
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, protein powder, dissolved espresso, cocoa powder, and your sweetener of choice.
2. Using an electric hand mixer or whisk, whip on medium-high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until light, airy, and completely smooth.
Step 3: Layer & Chill
1. Pipe or spoon the mocha whip into the jar over the Biscoff crumb base.
2. Top with the remaining Biscoff crumbs, chocolate shavings, and an optional drizzle of melted cookie butter.
3. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Chef’s Tips
Extra Airiness: Using a casein or whey-casein blend protein powder creates a noticeably thicker, more mousse-like volume when whipped with Greek yogurt compared to pure whey isolate.
