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.

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!
