Equipment

1 large mixing bowl
1 small microwavable bowl
4 small bowls *I like to use ramekins

Ingredients

For the yogurt pudding base

2 cups plant-based yogurt
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons strawberry protein powder (plant-based)
½ cup fresh chopped strawberries *about 8

Optional

natural red food dye

For the magic shell

⅓ cup dairy-free white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil

Optional

sprinkles

Instructions

Mix yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and protein powder with a whisk until it is nice and creamy. *You don't want any protein powder chunks. Optionally, add 10-15 drops of natural red food dye and stir until the yogurt mixture is an ideal even color.
Fold in the chopped strawberries.
Transfer the mixture evenly into four small bowls. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly smooth the tops. Place them in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Make the magic shell layer by adding the coconut oil and white chocolate chips to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds, stir, and repeat until the mixture is creamy and no chunks remain. *Do not overheat. Allow the mixture to cool for 1-2 minutes.
Spread a thin layer of the melted chocolate onto the top of each of the four bowls of pudding. Quickly and optionally add sprinkles before the magic shell starts to harden. Cover the bowls with plastic wrap and place them in the fridge for about 5 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

Storage: Place plastic wrap over the tops or store in airtight containers and in the fridge for up to four days. I prefer these yogurt cups on day one and day two.

Feel free to use your favorite plant-based yogurt. If you eat dairy, I recommend Greek yogurt.

You can mix in your favorite fresh fruit instead of strawberries. Some ideas include slices of ripe bananas, fresh blueberries, or raspberries.

Pro tip: Make sure to whisk the yogurt mixture well to avoid any clumps. You want the yogurt base to be very creamy.

If you like peanut butter, feel free to mix in a tablespoon into the yogurt pudding mixture! Yum!

You can optionally top the finished yogurt cups with any toppings of your choice instead of the white chocolate layer. Some ideas include chia seeds, sliced bananas, or white chocolate chips.
