Toasted Almond Mocha Pudding (Low Point)
Servings: 3–4
Estimated Points: ~1–2 points per serving (depending on your plan + toppings)
🥣 Ingredients:
- 2 cups fat-free cottage cheese (blended smooth)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1–2 tsp instant coffee or espresso powder
- 2–3 tbsp zero-calorie sweetener (like stevia/erythritol, adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (to thin, if needed)
- 1 tbsp finely crushed toasted almonds (for topping – keep minimal for low points)
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Blend cottage cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add cocoa powder, coffee, sweetener, and vanilla. Blend again until silky.
- Add a splash of almond milk if you want a lighter, pudding-like texture.
- Chill for at least 30–60 minutes for best flavor.
- Top with a small sprinkle of toasted almonds before serving.
💡 Tips to Keep Points Low:
- Skip or reduce almonds (they add most of the points).
- Use fat-free cottage cheese only.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor without extra calories.
✨ Optional Add-Ons (still low-ish):
- Sugar-free chocolate syrup drizzle
- Dust of cocoa powder
- A few mini sugar-free chocolate chips
