Chocolate Pudding Pie with Greek Yogurt

Welcome back! Did you already get started here?

Welcome to Homemaking Tips Tuesdays where contributing writers share helpful homemaking tips so you can feel more successful caring for your home and family.

{This week, post by: Jaimi}

So yummy! This healthier version of chocolate pudding pie is so decadent! It takes minutes to put together too, so it's a quick kid-friendly dessert to make in a pinch.

Remember those pudding cups when you were a kid? It was such a decadent treat to get one of those in my lunch box. I’ve got a healthier version for you! This chocolate pudding dessert recipe is great for adults or kids, and it makes a really rich chocolate pudding pie too!

With my motivation to eat healthier and live a more natural lifestyle-at least as much as I can-I don’t buy treats like those pudding cups at all. The kids often have chocolate chips or ice cream when we let them have dessert, but we don’t really buy a lot of packaged sweets to keep around regularly.

I want to expose my kids to healthier options like a decadent take on a new recipe I recently tried. I call it Healthier Chocolate Pudding Pie. It is made with Greek yogurt, so we start with healthy ingredients to make a less-guilty dessert option that kids and adults will enjoy.

Healthier Chocolate Pudding Pie with Greek Yogurt

You can make the chocolate pudding and the pie in less than 15 minutes total.

I made this quickly the other night when I went to a friend’s house for dinner. Both of our husband’s were gone for work, so we gathered together with the kids to hang out and break up the evening. It’s a treat to do that so I don’t get overwhelmed with parenting alone for stretches of time.

I decided last minute to make this as my dessert to bring to dinner. My plan was to make brownies, but I forgot about it until 30 minutes before we were heading out. Chocolate Pudding Pie was fast, easy, and the twins helped make it.

Chocolate Pudding Pie Ingredients

2 cups Greek Yogurt

1/2 cup cocoa

1/2 cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4-1/2 cup chocolate chips

2 cups crushed cookies

whipped cream

chopped nuts

How to Make Chocolate Pudding Pie-A Healthier Way

This is SO easy! It takes very little time to put this all together.

1) Place two handfuls of cookies into baggie or blender. I used an organic coconut cookie from Costco, but Nilla wafers work, or really any favorite cookie.

So yummy! This healthier version of chocolate pudding pie is so decadent! It takes minutes to put together too, so it's a quick kid-friendly dessert to make in a pinch.

2) Seal the baggie if using. Crush the cookies by banging with a measuring cup or blending in the blender. Cookies should be smaller than quarter size but do not have to be uniform.

3) Pour the cookie crumbs into an 8 by 8 baking dish or serving bowl of your choice.

4) In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, cocoa, honey, vanilla, and chocolate chips. Stir until well combined. Texture should be smooth.

6) Top the pudding with additional chocolate chips, or chopped nuts as desired.  You can serve this right after making, or chill it in the fridge for an hour and it will firm up nicely for serving.

7) Serve with whipped cream on top if you like. I like to add some chopped pecans or sliced almonds on top as well.

Warning: This is so good! It’s a comfort food for sure. The Greek yogurt helps me feel little less guilty when I eat this, but it is nice that the sweetener is natural, and the ingredients can be completely organic if you choose.

You certainly can make the basic pudding recipe all on its own. I shared that here previously.

The beauty of this chocolate pudding pie recipe is that you can add or remove amounts or ingredients to suit your taste. We’ll leave the serving size up for debate too! 🙂

My kids climbing trees, playing with friends and g My kids climbing trees, playing with friends and getting to socialize is priceless right now.

There are two worlds developing lately. Here in NC other than a wearing a mask now and then, life is pretty normal. This is our world. 

I am so thankful. Praying for normal to get back to your area soon. 💛 Life is better lived with others.

As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a dream so far! 

Kids are eager to learn and ask for more, we have a system down, and I am even getting rest time in the evening after the kitchen is cleaned up. My husband and I get time together while the kids are still awake which is important for them to see. 

It has taken some realization of truth to create this peace and balance. Teaching my kids is a full time job. I am giving it that time this year and it is making all the difference. #shed #deadweightisgone #focusonthepresent #focusonfamily #thisismywork #homeschoolingmom #homeschoolingmama #homeschoolisafulltimejob #intentionalhomeschooling #intentionalmotherhood #intentionalmama #wifeandmother #homemakingmotivation #schoolathome #lifebalance
How long have you known your spouse? This guy an How long have you known your spouse? 

This guy and I met our senior year of high school. What a journey we were in for and did not ever realize! 

•4 kids + 1 miscarriage
•Navigating long distance relationship while dating, engaged and married
•Working to build faith as the center and focus of “us”
•Loving each other at our ugliest moments
•Building our home team for the long term

Every time the world feels heavy, chaotic, and strange, our marriage is a safe place. It makes our home calm amongst the storm of global politics. 

I have grown content with our imperfections- because there are much bigger problems to navigate in the world...am I right?! 😳

That brings me so much peace. 

Loving not only how well we work together but also the ways we still need to improve. That is where I am in my marriage. Grateful to have so much history with this guy. It fills my tank for all the years we have ahead of us to navigate as well.

It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, yo It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, you can not do it all well. 

Hi, my name is Jaimi and sometimes I deliver truth that cuts to the heart. 👌😉

Women have been fed a lie that they can and need to juggle it all. I have learned to juggle. Eventually balls fall. 

As I took on more because I was told all that mattered was my mindset, I inevitably had to set aside the tasks that God called me to do first. We never take on more and more and more and stay in balance without setting aside more than we should.

It is not a matter of mindset, it is a matter of priorities.

Have you heard of the “one thing every day”? Many make that a clean kitchen, workout completed or devotional time. My one this is my family. If I focus on them each day I feel successful. 

In my home there is peace. The world is in chaos, power has become currency, and morals have fallen away. But “me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

It has nothing to do with gender. No one can take on something new without setting aside something they were working on already. 

Peace and order in my home is worth it. I am setting aside the things that bring chaos into my life and home. I am only focusing on the things that serve God here. 

What have you done to focus on success with completing your priorities this year? Have you made small changes to get there or large leaps?

Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It m Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It marked the real start of 2021 for us. 

For some reason I am feeling ready for Spring cleaning. Funny enough, as I was cleaning out some flower pots that had gone a little stagnant over the colder weeks, I saw shoots! My plants think Spring is on its way-it has been warm here over the last few days. 

Being greeted by this view as we were piling into the van this morning, felt energizing. 

My steps heading in to 2021 are more careful, pragmatic. It feels good to feel on course, back to what matters most, and have zero guilt for what I will put on the back burner this year to stay focused on giving my family my best.

Anyone else having about 3 Christmases with shippi Anyone else having about 3 Christmases with shipping challenges delaying packages? 🤣🤣

With family all long distance + the twins birthday 2 days after Christmas we end up with about 4 gift opening sessions over the course of Christmas week. I see no complaints from these kids. 😆 

How did package shipping go for you this year? Do you plan ahead for shipping gifts? 

We are definitely grateful for giving family. #christmasweek #giftopening #givinggifts #moregifts #feelingloved #holiday2020 #familytime2020

A few ornaments have impact for other reasons. They beautify our tree while impacting the lives of female crafters in parts of the world that need to be lifted up. This new addition has a backstory. Swipe right to read it. 🌟💜 I am blessed to support the @younglivingfoundation 

I love the memories of my tree. So many favorite ornaments. 

Which of your ornaments are your favorite?
