Dairy-free yogurt chocolate pudding
If you follow a vegan diet or can’t eat dairy, here’s how to make dairy-free yogurt chocolate pudding.
As simple as this, all you have to do is replacing Greek yogurt with plant based alternatives. Just make sure that the yogurt has a firm, thick consistency – a prerequisite for a good chocolate pudding texture. My recommendations are soy Skry, soy Greek yogurt or thick coconut yogurt.
How to make Greek yogurt chocolate pudding
In a bowl combine Greek yogurt with sweetener (or maple syrup), cocoa powder and pinch salt. Stir to combine until smooth and creamy. Depending on the texture of the Greek yogurt used, you may need a splash of milk to fix the consistency of the pudding.
Serve with chocolate chips on top or keep refrigerated until eating. To store it, place in a small airtight food container and seal. This yogurt pudding will last for up to 2 days.

Hey my dear Victoria!
What a great pleasure reading your nice feedback. I am soooo happy to hear this from you, what a compliment that my homemade protein pudding tasted like the one from the grocery store. But cheaply made at home with just simple ingredients. The best of all worlds I’d say 😉
Bests,
