Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 135g fat-free Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
- 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 20g dark chocolate (to melt)
- A drizzle of peanut butter (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heat-proof bowl. Microwave on high in short bursts of a few seconds, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely melted. Allow it to cool slightly to avoid curdling or melting the yogurt mixture when topping.
- Mix the pudding: In a separate medium bowl, combine the fat-free Greek yogurt, smooth peanut butter, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Divide the pudding: Spoon the pudding mixture evenly into two dessert glasses or ramekins, ensuring each serving is balanced.
- Top with chocolate and peanut butter drizzle: Pour the melted dark chocolate over the pudding in each glass. If desired, drizzle a small amount of peanut butter on top for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve or chill: You can enjoy this pudding immediately for a soft texture or refrigerate it for about 1 hour if you prefer a thicker pudding consistency with a firmer chocolate topping.
Notes
- Use dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe vegan-friendly and suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup based on your preference.
- For an extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or cacao nibs on top before serving.
- If you don’t have a microwave, melt the chocolate gently over a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for best freshness.
