Chocolate Yogurt Pudding Ingredients
- 135g fat-free Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
- 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
- 20g dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 20g dark chocolate (melted)
- A drizzle of peanut butter (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heat-proof bowl. Microwave on high for a few seconds, then stir and repeat until the chocolate is fully melted. Allow it to cool to avoid curdling the yogurt mixture.
- Mix the Pudding Base: In a separate bowl, combine the fat-free Greek yogurt, smooth peanut butter, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Assemble the Pudding: Divide the pudding mixture evenly between two dessert glasses or ramekins, ensuring an even base.
- Add Toppings: Spoon the melted chocolate over the top of each pudding portion. Optionally, drizzle a little extra peanut butter over the chocolate for added flavor.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the pudding immediately for a creamy texture, or refrigerate for about 1 hour to achieve a thicker consistency and firmer chocolate topping.
Notes
- Using fat-free Greek yogurt keeps this dessert lower in calories while still delivering creaminess.
- Dairy-free yogurt can be used as a substitute to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- The pudding can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your preferred level of sweetness.
- For a crunchy texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or granola over the pudding before serving.
