Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 135g fat-free Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
- 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
- 20g dark chocolate (plus an additional 20g melted for topping)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- A drizzle of peanut butter (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heat-proof bowl. Microwave on high for a few seconds, stir, and repeat until the chocolate is fully melted. Allow it to cool slightly to prevent cooking the yogurt in the next step.
- Mix 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 smooth and well combined.
- Assemble Pudding: Divide the yogurt and peanut butter pudding mixture evenly between two dessert glasses or ramekins.
- Top with Chocolate: Spoon the melted dark chocolate evenly over the pudding layers. Optionally, drizzle a little peanut butter on top for extra flavor and presentation.
- Serve or Chill: You can serve the pudding immediately for a soft texture, or refrigerate for about 1 hour to achieve a thicker pudding and firmer chocolate topping.
Notes
- The recipe uses fat-free Greek yogurt, but you can substitute with dairy-free yogurt to make it vegan.
- Microwaving the chocolate carefully is key to avoid burning; stir frequently.
- If you prefer sweeter pudding, feel free to add a bit more maple syrup or adjust to taste.
- Chilling the pudding enhances the texture but is optional based on your preference.
- This recipe is best enjoyed fresh for optimal flavor and texture.
