Scale
Pudding Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
- 3 tbsp powdered monk fruit (can substitute honey)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup gluten-free vanilla wafers, crushed (e.g., High Key Sugar & Gluten Free Vanilla Wafers)
Chocolate Shell Ingredients
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, powdered monk fruit, crushed gluten-free vanilla wafers, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Chill the Pudding: Spoon the pudding into serving bowls or jars, approximately 1/2 cup per serving. Place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken slightly.
- Make the Magic Chocolate Shell: In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between each to ensure the mixture melts evenly and becomes smooth without burning.
- Assemble: Take the pudding cups out of the refrigerator. Pour the melted white chocolate mixture evenly on top of each pudding to create a thin chocolate layer.
- Add Toppings: Quickly sprinkle crushed gluten-free vanilla wafers and colorful sprinkles over the chocolate before it sets. Return the pudding cups to the refrigerator for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate shell to harden completely.
- Serve: When ready, gently tap the hardened chocolate shell with a spoon to crack it open and enjoy your high-protein sugar cookie pudding.
Notes
- You can substitute honey for powdered monk fruit if you prefer a different sweetener; adjust quantity to taste.
- Blending the cottage cheese before use helps create a smoother pudding texture if you opt for it instead of Greek yogurt.
- Use gluten-free vanilla wafers to keep the recipe gluten-free and safe for those with gluten sensitivities.
- The chocolate shell sets quickly, so work fast when adding toppings.
- This pudding is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
