Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup or to taste—you can also use your sweetener of choice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt optional, to enhance the chocolate flavor

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ricotta, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Stir well with a spoon or whisk until smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, blend in a food processor for an ultra-smooth texture.)
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa to your liking.
  4. For a firmer pudding, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Otherwise, enjoy it straight away!

Notes

Optional Toppings:
  • Shaved dark chocolate
  • Sliced fruit—good options include strawberries (and other berries), bananas, or even pineapple
  • Crushed nuts, cacao nibs, or coconut
  • A dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of sea salt
 
Protein Power Tip: For an even bigger protein hit, add a scoop or two of your favorite protein powder. Start with one scoop and blend well—vanilla or chocolate flavors work best and keep the pudding smooth and delicious.
