- 4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
Sweeteners:
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar or regular sugar
Seasoning:
- 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Integrate ricotta, cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract into a food processor, ensuring all components are evenly distributed.
- Pulse the mixture until it transforms into a velvety, homogeneous texture with no visible lumps, scraping down the sides as needed to incorporate all ingredients thoroughly.
- Transfer the silky chocolate pudding into individual serving glasses or ramekins, creating smooth surfaces with a spatula.

- When ready to serve, optionally garnish with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, whipped cream, or chopped nuts to enhance visual appeal and add complementary textures.
Notes
- Chill the pudding for a minimum of one hour to enhance its creamy texture and allow flavors to meld together.
- Choose smooth, high-quality ricotta cheese for the best rich and velvety consistency.
- Experiment with toppings like fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or whipped cream to elevate the dessert’s presentation.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother blending and more uniform mixture.
- Store pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, maintaining its delightful taste and texture.
- Consider using a food processor for the smoothest possible pudding, eliminating any potential lumps or grainy texture.
