Boo-nana Chocolate Pudding Cups Recipe

These Boo-nana Chocolate Pudding Cups are a fun and spooky treat that combine the richness of chocolate pudding with the natural sweetness of banana. Perfect for Halloween or any time you want a delicious, creamy, and healthy dessert!

Ingredients (Makes 4 servings):

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for thickening)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream or coconut cream (for topping, optional)
  • Chocolate chips (for garnish, optional)
  • Banana slices (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Make the Chocolate Pudding:

    • In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
    • Slowly whisk in the almond milk until smooth and free of lumps.
    • Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.

  2. Prepare the Bananas:

    • While the pudding is cooling, mash the ripe bananas in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.

  3. Combine the Banana and Chocolate Pudding:

    • Once the pudding has cooled slightly, gently fold in the mashed bananas, mixing until well combined.
    • Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup or honey.

  4. Assemble the Pudding Cups:

    • Spoon the chocolate banana pudding into small cups or jars.
    • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set and chill.

  5. Garnish and Serve:

    • Before serving, top the pudding cups with whipped cream or coconut cream.
    • Garnish with banana slices and a sprinkle of chocolate chips for a festive touch.

  6. Optional Spooky Touch:

    • For a fun Halloween touch, use a toothpick to draw "boo!" faces on the whipped cream with melted chocolate or melted peanut butter.

Tips:

  • Vegan Option: Use coconut milk or oat milk and coconut cream for a dairy-free version of this dessert.
  • Nut-Free: Use regular milk or another nut-free milk alternative, such as rice milk.
  • Extra Flavors: Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the pudding for a spiced twist.

These Boo-nana Chocolate Pudding Cups are not only a treat for the taste buds but also perfect for spooky celebrations and making fun memories! 🎃🍌🍫
