Raspberries, almonds and chocolate come together for the most amazing sweet treat! Sweet, creamy chocolate pudding is topped with DOVE® Dark Chocolate Raspberry & Honey Roasted Almonds, making an incredible treat for any chocolate and raspberry lover!
So, how is it going with your New Years resolutions? Are you still working on smarter eating, or maybe being more active? Getting more exercise and making smarter food choices is something I’m always working on. I’m doing really well with getting more protein in my diet, drinking more water, and getting more servings of fruits and vegetables. Something I’ve come to understand about myself is that I also cannot give up sweet treats. Telling myself that I CANNOT have something is usually a mistake! As soon as I feel deprived of something (usually chocolate or sweets!) it just makes me want it even more!
I’ve learned that treating myself, on occasion, is a good way to stay on track. Having a smarter snack that also includes a few small indulgences is something that I look forward to. Having one of my Raspberry Almond Chocolate Pudding cups topped with a few pieces of DOVE® Dark Chocolate Raspberry & Honey Roasted Almonds is the perfect way to satisfy my sweet tooth without going overboard.
Whipping up these delicious pudding cups is easy, and a great way to keep a better-for-you snack on hand. In addition to topping the pudding cups with DOVE® Dark Chocolate Raspberry & Honey Roasted Almonds, I also included a few fresh raspberries for some additional complimentary flavor. With the addition of the chocolate, almonds and raspberries, I feel like I’m really enjoying a special treat!

Making these pudding cups are easy, and include simple ingredient that you likely already have in your pantry and fridge. The pudding comes together in a saucepan, by whisking together milk, sugar, cornstarch, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Once this comes to a low boil, you’ll then stir in 2 oz. of 60% baking chocolate until melted and add vanilla. That’s it! From here, I divide the pudding into these small half-pint mason jars, which also helps keep a manageable serving size.
The results are a creamy, delicious pudding that tastes amazing! Here’s the recipe for these fantastic Raspberry Almond Chocolate Pudding Cups:
