4 Ingredient Chocolate protein Pudding (dairy-free)
Description
This recipe uses the thick cream portion of canned coconut milk combined with chocolate-flavored vegan protein powder, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Blended thoroughly for at least 45 seconds, the mixture turns smooth and pudding-like. After portioning into small containers, chilling in the refrigerator firms up the texture. The pudding’s consistency depends on the protein powder and the coconut milk cream, with the option to add chocolate sauce on top for extra decadence. The pudding is designed as a dairy-free, protein-rich treat.
The recipe highlights the importance of using only the thick coconut cream and draining excess water to achieve the best texture. If the protein powder is low in sweetness, almond milk can be substituted with maple syrup to add natural sweetness. More almond milk may be needed if a pea protein powder is used, as it absorbs liquid and affects creaminess.
The pudding should be stored refrigerated and consumed within three days. Before eating, letting it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes helps soften the pudding if it firms too much during chilling.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup coconut milk canned

Notes
