Indulge guilt-free with this Chocolate Almond Cheesecake Pudding—your new go-to healthy dessert that's as rich and creamy as it is nourishing. Made with wholesome ingredients like low-fat cream cheese, unsweetened almond milk, and non-fat Greek yogurt, this dessert delivers that decadent cheesecake flavor without the overload of calories. A touch of unsweetened cocoa powder and almond butter enhances its velvety texture and nutty undertones, while a natural sweetness from maple syrup and a hint of vanilla tie everything together. Chia seeds not only give it a nutritional boost but also help thicken the pudding to perfection after chilling. Serve it with a garnish of dark chocolate shavings and sliced almonds for a sophisticated finish. Ready in just 10 minutes (plus chill time), this no-cook recipe is the perfect balance of indulgence and health for any occasion.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened low-fat cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and almond butter. Mix until smooth and creamy using a whisk or an electric mixer.
Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Continue mixing until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Slowly pour in the almond milk, a little at a time, whisking continuously to make sure the mixture stays smooth and creamy.
Stir in the chia seeds. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the pudding mixture.
Divide the mixture evenly into 4 small serving bowls or jars.
Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the pudding to thicken and for the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, garnish with dark chocolate shavings and sliced almonds, if desired.
Enjoy your healthy chocolate almond cheesecake pudding as a delicious and satisfying dessert!
