For more than half of my fourth grade existence, I went through a phase where I was completely obsessed with Jello pudding cups.
Every day, I’d find a different flavor packed into my lunchbox—anything from chocolate, to butterscotch, to cheesecake, to classic vanilla. I loved them all. Today’s recipe reminds me of those Jello pudding cups, made even better with the addition of the rich chocolate shell that breaks to reveal a layer of creamy homemade pudding underneath.
Mounds Bar Chocolate Coconut Pudding Cups
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- scant 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup coconut butter
- 6 oz Mori-Nu firm tofu OR cashew cream
- pinch pure stevia, or 1 tbsp sugar of choice
- 1 tbsp milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- shredded coconut, if desired
Combine all ingredients in a small blender or magic bullet, and process until completely smooth. Pour into cups or bowls, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to thicken. Optional topping: Mix together 1 tbsp each cocoa powder, pure maple syrup, and coconut oil. Pour over the chilled puddings and refrigerate 10 minutes to harden. Recipe makes about 3-4 pudding cups.

Question of the Day:
Do you ever make your own homemade pudding?
Any favorite flavors? I’m partial to my Homemade Chocolate Pudding, but now that I’m in a pudding-making mood, I feel like experimenting. Do you have any flavor requests?

Cookie Dough Pudding sounds fantastic! (;
That looks so good!!
These look great! I especially love the idea of the hard chocolate shell, makes it seem more decadent and you’d also avoid that dreaded dry pudding top.
I make a classic chocolate pudding that’s basically milk, chocolate chips, sugar, and cornstarch. It’s over the double boiler and it’s so chocolatey.
Mmm, looks like a chocolate brulêe! 😀 x
BUBBLEGUM PUDDING!!! Or cookie dough
Would it be alright if I don’t use maple syrup?
Everything from old fashioned vanilla pudding to fancy cranberry-pomegranate-whatever-floates-your-boat pudding 🙂
This looks and sounds amazing.
Lol live that name: “cranberry-pomegranate-whatever-floates-your-boat pudding”
Humorous.
pistachio, banana, or almond
It’s funny because I was actually wondering how you made pudding. Thanks for sharing this recipe, it looks good!
Mounds/Almond Joys, the one Halloween candy I’d immediately throw out upon arriving home. I wish I liked coconut!
I make my own “pudding” by just taking Vega One protein powder, throwing it into a bowl, and adding maybe 1/4 cup water. Stir it up, and it’s true pudding consistency! Well, actually a bit more like nut butter, but that consistency is damn delicious.
I’m also loving Zen brand’s new chocolate Almondmilk pudding. If you haven’t, check it out!
how about dulce de leche pudding. any way to make THAT healthy?
If I put almonds on the chilled puddings, then put the chocolate over the top, do you think it would taste like an almond joy?
Yes! I love how delicious these look! : ) Yummy… Please create an Andes and a S’mores flavors… and cinnamon stick. Maybe Mexican hot chocolate, or rainbow cake. Oh and u mentioned cheesecake pudding – DEFINITELY re-create that one!!
This looks delicious! Hellloooooo tonight’s dessert!
Also, if you could make vegan (or at least dairy free) something-like-flan, you would be my hero!
Can this be made with chia seed pudding instead of tofu or cashews?
Can you PLEASE make a vanilla pudding? I love chocolate, and found lots of great recipes from you, but haven’t found a vanilla pudding that was healthy and vegan.
Thank you Katie!
