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?

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!
Pistachio, vanilla, chocolate, oreo, banana cream, butterscotch, tapioca… 🙂 Oh, and the Jello pudding temptations are amazing too! Lemon meringue. I haven’t been able to eat those in awhile.
I have always wanted to make my own pudding, because the pudding from the store just tastes so much like chemicals! For me, like hairspray… I know, I’m weird! I like classic chocolate. 🙂
