Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Base
- 2 cups Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
- 3 tbsp powdered monk fruit (more or less to taste; can substitute honey)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup gluten-free vanilla wafers, crushed (e.g., High Key Sugar & Gluten Free Vanilla Wafers)
Chocolate Shell
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Toppings
- Sprinkles
- Additional crushed gluten-free vanilla wafers
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, powdered monk fruit, crushed gluten-free vanilla wafers, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Whisk everything until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
- Chill the Pudding: Divide the pudding evenly into serving bowls or cups, about 1/2 cup per jar or container. Place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken slightly.
- Make the Magic Chocolate Shell: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Assemble: Remove the chilled pudding cups from the refrigerator. Carefully pour the melted chocolate mixture over the top of each pudding cup to form a thin, even chocolate layer.
- Add Toppings: Before the chocolate hardens, quickly sprinkle additional crushed gluten-free vanilla wafers and festive sprinkles on top for added texture and decoration. Return the pudding cups to the refrigerator for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate shell to harden completely.
- Serve: Once the chocolate shell is firm, gently tap it with a spoon to crack it open. Enjoy your delicious high-protein sugar cookie pudding!
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with blended cottage cheese for a creamier texture.

- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt and dairy-free white chocolate chips.
