Carnivore Chocolate Yogurt Butter Pudding
If you’re eating animal-based but still want a little treat now and then, this simple chocolate pudding might be exactly what you’re looking for. It’s made with just four ingredients, yogurt, butter, cocoa, and maple syrup, and comes together in minutes. No fancy tools, no baking, and no junk.
Ingredients
- ½ cup full-fat plain yogurt
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 2 tsp maple syrup adjust to taste
Instructions
Melt the butter:
- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the butter until just liquid—don’t overheat.
Mix cocoa and maple syrup:
- In a small bowl, stir the cocoa powder into the melted butter until smooth. Add maple syrup and stir again until fully combined.
Add yogurt:
- Gently fold the cocoa-butter mixture into the yogurt. Stir slowly until it's completely smooth and creamy.
Chill (optional):
- You can eat it right away, but chilling for 30–60 minutes will thicken it slightly and make it even more pudding-like.
Notes
Optional toppings:
- A sprinkle of extra cocoa or cinnamon
- A swirl of extra maple syrup
- Shaved butter (yes, it’s a thing) or sea salt flakes for contrast
- Fresh berries or other fruit
