Although I eat healthy most of the time, I still crave dessert. That sweet tooth never seems to go away completely.
But there is no reason to give up your favorite treats when eating healthier. I have learned to choose better food options instead of processed sweets that are packed with calories and sugar.
This homemade white chocolate pudding is easy to make and so incredibly creamy. It's just as simple as this chocolate chia pudding and protein Jello.
Why Make This Protein Pudding Recipe
Step away from the instant pudding mix! These sugar-free pudding cups are delicious, nutritious, and have a delicious flavor. Since the protein dessert has fewer calories, it is a great option for a snack or post-workout dessert.
Adding strawberries and sugar free whipped cream makes the pudding cups a bit fancier.
- Easy to make in 4-5 minutes.
- It is made with four simple ingredients.
- Naturally dairy-free, egg-free, and gluten-free.
- No artificial flavors or preservatives.
- Smooth, creamy texture and sweet taste.
Key Ingredients
All you need to make this creamy sugar-free pudding dessert is four simple ingredients and a blender.
- Silken Tofu - You can find soft tofu in the refrigerated case in the produce aisle. Shelf-stable tofu can also be found in the ethnic section of grocery stores.
- Sweetener - I use Monkfruit to sweeten the mixture a bit more. This sugar substitute dissolves easily and has zero calories.
- Vanilla Bean Paste - Adds a rich flavor to the pudding.
- White Chocolate Chips - We like Lily's chips but feel free to use any sugar-free chocolate you prefer. To make this dairy-free and egg-free, look for allergen-free chocolate.
- Optional Topping - Fresh strawberries can be simmered down for a jam topping.
To increase the protein in this sugar-free dessert, add 1-2 scoops of your favorite vanilla protein powder.
How to Make Sugar Free White Chocolate Pudding
This white chocolate protein pudding is incredibly easy to make. The best way to mix it is in a blender or food processor. Blend the ingredients, then refrigerate the mixture until it thickens.
- Prep the tofu. Remove the tofu from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes ahead of time. Open the package and drain any excess liquid. You do not need to press this tofu before using it.
- Melt the white chips. Place the chips in a small pan over low heat. Stir until melted and creamy, then remove from the heat.
- Make the pudding. Place the tofu, sweetener, and vanilla in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, then use a spatula to scrape the sides. Add the melted chocolate and pulse again until creamy.
- Divide and refrigerate. Pour or spoon the pudding into five small cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until firm and chilled.
- Serve with optional toppings. Heat sliced strawberries and sweetener until juices come out. Crush and simmer for 5-10 minutes until thickened. Let cool, then add to pudding cups with a swirl of whipped cream.
Use a keto-friendly cereal if you want to add a crust to the cups. One tablespoon of Catalina Crunch dark chocolate cereal per parfait is a good option. Keep in mind this will change the macros.
Storage Recommendations
Cover the pudding cups with plastic wrap and then place them in the refrigerator. This is a great treat to make ahead of time because it keeps for 3-4 days.
Simple Tips
- Let the tofu come to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Substitute low-fat cream cheese or unsweetened coconut cream for the tofu.
- Once you melt the white chocolate, allow it to cool slightly before mixing it in the mixture.
- Choose a good quality chocolate for the best taste. Use a brand that you enjoy the taste of.
- Use sugar-free dark chocolate to make a chocolate protein pudding.
- Serve with fresh berries, toasted coconut, chopped nuts, or sliced bananas.
- Keep the pudding in a large, airtight container if you do not want to store multiple cups.
- Make a white chocolate pie by serving it in a nut crust.
FAQs
Tofu or soybean curd is made by pressing the soft curds into a block. Some tofu is solid and firm, while others are soft and creamy. It is mild and almost flavorless, making it a great alternative to dairy products.
Substitute low fat cream cheese or unsweetened coconut cream in place of the tofu. Keep in mind this will change the calorie and macro count of the recipe.
Feel free to use maple syrup, honey, organic Stevia, or any other sugar substitute you prefer.
Yes. Mix all the ingredients with a whisk or an electric hand mixer on medium speed. Using a blender is faster and creates a slightly smoother consistency in the pudding.
