Chocolate Protein Pudding
Description
This Chocolate Protein Pudding recipe uses cottage cheese as the base to provide creaminess and protein. Cocoa powder infuses the mixture with deep chocolate flavor, while whey protein powder increases the protein content, supporting dietary needs that prioritize muscle maintenance or satiety. Sweetened with allulose — or an alternative sweetener at slightly reduced amounts — the pudding achieves a mildly sweet, chocolatey taste.
Blending all ingredients quickly until smooth results in a velvety dessert with a consistency similar to traditional pudding. The vanilla extract adds aroma and balances the chocolate bitterness. The recipe yields two servings, each about half a cup, making it easy to portion.
The pudding can be served immediately or chilled for a cooler texture. It stores well in the refrigerator for up to four days and is not suited for freezing. Optional garnishes include cocoa powder dusting, whipped cream, or fresh berries to add texture and flavor contrasts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese 220g
- 3 tablespoon cocoa powder 16g
- 2 tablespoon whey protein powder 12g
- 3 tablespoon allulose 30g, use 2 tablespoon for any other sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a food processor, blender or in a tall jug with an electric mixer until smooth. This takes about 1 minute. Scrape the sides with a spatula in between to incorporate everything into a smooth mixture.
- Fill the pudding into 2 serving cups. Serve straight away or cover and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use allulose for exact sweetness or start with two tablespoons of any 1:1 sugar substitute and adjust to taste.
- Store the pudding covered in the fridge for up to four days; do not freeze.
- Serving size is about ½ cup per portion, yielding two servings total.
- Optional toppings include cocoa powder, whipped cream, or berries for added flavor and texture.
