Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat for creaminess)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
- 2โ3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons milk (any kind, for consistency)
Toppings (Optional)
- Dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
- Adjust Consistency: Slowly add 2 tablespoons of milk, stirring continuously, until the pudding reaches a thick, spoonable consistency. You can add more milk if you prefer it thinner.
- Sweetness Check: Taste the pudding and, if necessary, add a bit more maple syrup or honey to adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- Chill: Transfer the pudding to serving bowls or containers and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the pudding thicken further and enhances the chocolate flavor.
- Serve: Before serving, top with dark chocolate shavings, cacao nibs, or a dollop of whipped cream for extra texture and flavor if desired.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use vegan protein powder.
- This pudding can double as a healthy fruit dip or a nutritious base for dessert parfaits.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer texture and creamier pudding.
- Adjust the sweetener quantity to suit your dietary preferences or sugar intake.
