Why I love making this chocolate yogurt pudding:

Chocolate yogurt is not something I’ve come across often, but I have seen a rise in high protein chocolate puddings, which gave me the idea of making a homemade version, but healthier by using Greek yogurt as the base.

The result is a healthy pudding like dessert that tastes amazing, but is also packed with gut friendly probiotics, healthy fats and antioxidants.

Another great thing about this chocolate yogurt pudding is that each serving offers 20g protein – not bad for a tasty chocolate pudding!

As well as being healthy with only a few ingredients, this chocolate yogurt pudding is also ready in no time! You simply mix the ingredients together, top it with your choice of toppings and serve it immediately. You can also make it in advance and store it in the fridge for a quick grab and go snack/dessert.

There’s even more to love about this pudding for two:

No leftovers to worry about – that’s the benefit of small batch baking!

Delicious as is – or use as a filling between two cakes, inside your favorite cupcakes, make it into a parfait, or you could even freeze it into popsicles!

Why you need to try this chocolate yogurt pudding:

Control over ingredients: Unlike most treats that you pick up from the supermarket, even the healthy versions, there’s often many questionable ingredients like flavourings, emulsifiers and stabilisers.

Cost-Effective: Making flavoured yogurt at home can be more cost effective than buying pre-made versions, especially if you make it regularly.

Fun and Rewarding: There’s a certain satisfaction in making something from scratch, and this classic, creamy dessert is surprisingly easy to make…and after trying this silky,decadent chocolate pudding recipe, you will never want store-bought again!
