1 scoop (32g) Chocolate whey-casein protein powder (or dark chocolate protein powder)
1 tbsp (8g) Unsweetened dark cocoa powder
1 tbsp (8g) Sugar-free chocolate pudding mix (instant powder, for extra thickness)
2–3 tbsp Unsweetened almond milk (adjust for desired thickness)
1 tbsp Zero-calorie liquid sweetener or maple syrup (to taste)
Pinch Salt (enhances rich chocolate flavor)
Optional Toppings:
1 tbsp Sugar-free chocolate chips or cacao nibs
1 tbsp Whipped topping or light coconut cream
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Combine Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, dark cocoa powder, sugar-free instant pudding mix, zero-calorie sweetener, and a pinch of salt to a medium bowl.
2. Add Liquid: Pour in 2 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk to help dissolve the powders.
3. Whip Until Fluffy: Using an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed, whip the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes until completely smooth, light, and doubled in fluffiness. (Add an extra tablespoon of almond milk if you prefer a looser pudding texture).
4. Serve & Enjoy: Scoop into a tall glass or bowl, top with sugar-free chocolate chips if desired, and dig in immediately with a spoon!
Chef’s Tips
Use a Whey-Casein Blend: Casein protein absorbs liquid much better than pure whey isolate, giving you that ultra-thick, frosting-like peak!
Chill for Extra Thickness: Pop the whipped pudding into the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes before eating for a soft-serve ice cream texture!
