Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 5 cups (1.2 liters) Greek yogurt (full-fat, plain or vanilla)
- 4 scoops chocolate protein powder
Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 to 4 tablespoons (45 to 60 milliliters) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, and unsweetened cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl. Incorporate vanilla extract and maple syrup, whisking thoroughly until the mixture achieves a silky, lump-free consistency. If the texture seems overly dense, introduce a small amount of milk or water to achieve desired smoothness.
- Transfer the pudding mixture into a sealed container, ensuring complete coverage with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for approximately 60 minutes, allowing the pudding to solidify and develop a rich, creamy texture. This chilling period enables the ingredients to meld and intensify their flavors.
- After chilling, gently stir the pudding to reintegrate its components. Portion the pudding into serving vessels, creating an appealing presentation. Elevate the dessert with optional garnishes: a delicate swirl of whipped cream, scattered chocolate shavings, and a handful of vibrant fresh berries. These embellishments introduce complementary textures and enhance the overall sensory experience.
Notes
- Swap Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives like coconut or almond yogurt for a vegan version that maintains creamy texture.
- Adjust sweetness levels by experimenting with different natural sweeteners such as stevia, honey, or agave syrup to suit personal taste preferences.
- Use sugar-free protein powder and unsweetened cocoa for a low-carb option that keeps the rich chocolate flavor without extra calories.
- Enhance protein content by incorporating chia seeds or collagen powder for additional nutritional benefits and a slightly thicker consistency.
