4 from 10 reviews

A quick and healthy chocolate pudding snack made with creamy Greek yogurt, rich Dutch process cocoa powder, and natural maple syrup, offering a delicious treat that’s ready in just minutes.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Dutch process or dark cocoa powder (not regular cocoa powder)
  • 1/2 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Optional: 1/2 to 1 tablespoon water (to adjust texture)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the Dutch process cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup together thoroughly. Initially, the mixture will be very thick.
  2. Adjust Texture: If the pudding is too thick due to dense yogurt, add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of water gradually to achieve a lighter, smoother consistency.
  3. Customize Taste: Taste your pudding and add a bit more cocoa powder or maple syrup if desired, to balance bitterness or sweetness according to your preference.

Notes

  • Use Dutch process or dark cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor; regular cocoa powder may not yield the same taste.
  • Full-fat Greek yogurt adds creaminess and healthy fats; low-fat versions may affect texture and flavor.
  • The pudding can be served immediately or chilled briefly for a thicker texture.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
