Okay, so my pudding isn’t in a mug. But, it was cooked in a mug – I just like things looking pretty. You can absolutely eat it in all its ugly glory, it certainly won’t change the taste!
Dark, rich, chocolatey pudding – just for you! I know, I love you too much. Or, rather, I love treating myself, but what would my recipes mean without readers?
So, today I’m sharing with you something too good to even exist. Except it does. Fructose-free (or about as close to it as you can get), protein-laced with milk, and antioxidant-rich with cocoa, this stuff is healthy enough for breakfast. And it takes 5 minutes to make!
Luxuriously smooth, this stuff is so thick it holds a spoon. Spike your dangerously delicious pudding with some peppermint essence for a refreshing change, or stick to vanilla if you’re classic. I’m definitely on the peppermint train.
Can you see the gloss? Yeah, that’s right.
