Main Ingredients
- 1 scoop (25-30 g) chocolate protein powder
- 3–4 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar-free instant pudding mix (optional)
- 1 low-calorie cookie, crushed
- Sweetener to taste (stevia or monk fruit)
- Pinch of salt
- Mix Protein Base: In a bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder, plain Greek yogurt, and 3 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Cocoa and Sweetness: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, and your preferred sweetener (such as stevia or monk fruit) to the bowl. Mix well and adjust the sweetness according to your taste.
- Thicken the Pudding: Stir in the sugar-free instant pudding mix if using. Allow the mixture to sit for 1 to 2 minutes so it can thicken properly.
- Layer the Dirt Cup: Crush the low-calorie cookie. In a serving cup, layer half of the crushed cookie at the bottom, spoon the pudding mixture over it, then top with the remaining crushed cookie crumbs to resemble ‘dirt.’
- Chill and Serve: For best texture and flavor, chill the assembled dirt cup in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Alternatively, you can serve it immediately if preferred.
Notes
- Using plain Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein without extra sugar.
- Sweetener can be adjusted or omitted depending on protein powder sweetness.
- The sugar-free instant pudding mix is optional but helps thicken the dessert naturally.
- Low-calorie cookies keep the dessert guilt-free and crunchy.
- Chilling enhances texture but serving immediately is fine if short on time.
