Notes
Storage: Store leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. It’s best served chilled, but can be softened slightly by sitting out for a few minutes.
Flavor Boost: You can experiment with adding cocoa powder or coffee extract to the yogurt mixture for an extra flavor boost.
Non-Dairy and Vegan Options: Swap Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use a vegan protein powder for a dairy-free version.
Sweetener Variations: Maple syrup can be substituted with honey, stevia, or agave syrup to fit your preferences.
