Description
A creamy and indulgent Chocolate Yogurt Pudding that combines fat-free Greek yogurt with rich dark chocolate, peanut butter, and cocoa powder for a healthy yet decadent dessert. Perfectly balanced with maple syrup for sweetness, this no-cook pudding is quick to prepare and can be enjoyed immediately or chilled for a firmer texture.
Ingredients
Yogurt Base
- 135g fat-free Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
- 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Chocolate Topping
- 20g dark chocolate
- 20g dark chocolate (melted)
- A drizzle of peanut butter (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Break the 20g of dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heat-proof bowl. Microwave on high for a few seconds, then stir. Repeat in short intervals until the chocolate is fully melted. Allow it to cool slightly before using.
- Prepare the Pudding Base: In a separate bowl, combine the fat-free Greek yogurt, smooth peanut butter, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and smooth.
- Assemble the Pudding: Divide the pudding mixture evenly between 2 dessert glasses or ramekins, ensuring an even distribution.
- Add the Topping: Spoon the melted chocolate over the yogurt pudding in each glass. Optionally, drizzle additional peanut butter on top for extra flavor and decoration.
- Serve or Chill: Enjoy the pudding immediately for a soft texture, or refrigerate for about 1 hour to allow the pudding to thicken and the chocolate topping to firm up for a more set dessert.
Notes
- Use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan or lactose-free option.
- Adjust maple syrup amount depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- For a richer pudding, use full-fat Greek yogurt instead of fat-free.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance; melt chocolate carefully to avoid burning.
