Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (for thickening)
- Dark chocolate shavings (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Blend the ingredients – In a blender, combine almond milk, protein powder, cocoa powder, heavy cream, sweetener, vanilla extract, and xanthan gum.
- Mix until smooth – Blend until the mixture is smooth and thick. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the xanthan gum to thicken the pudding.
- Chill for better texture – For a firmer consistency, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy – Serve cold, topped with dark chocolate shavings or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For extra thickness, increase xanthan gum slightly, but don’t overdo it!
- Use stevia or monk fruit sweetener as an alternative to erythritol.
- Swap heavy cream for coconut cream to make it completely dairy-free.
- Add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter for extra richness.
