Ingredients

1 packet AmBari Milk Chocolate Shake
4 oz Cold Water
1 Tbsp Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips OR 1 crushed Sugar-Free Chocolate Graham Cracker square
2 Tbsp Sugar-Free Whipped Topping (like Cool Whip Zero)

Directions

In a small dessert bowl, combine the AmBari Milk Chocolate Shake packet and 4 oz cold water.
Stir rapidly with a spoon until smooth. Let it sit for 3 minutes to thicken into a pudding.
Stir in half of the sugar-free chocolate chips (or graham cracker crumbs) for texture.
Top with the sugar-free whipped topping and sprinkle the remaining chips or crumbs on top.

Recipe Note

For a Firmer Texture: While the pudding thickens up quickly upon standing, for an even firmer, more chilled dessert experience, place the bowl in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before adding your toppings.

Flavor Variations: The AmBari Milk Chocolate Shake makes a versatile base. Try to customize your pudding by stirring in a teaspoon of peanut butter powder or a splash of sugar-free syrup, such as caramel or peppermint, before it sets. Or even try one of the other AmBari Chocolate Protein Shake flavors.

Check Your Labels: To ensure this dessert remains diabetic and bariatric-friendly, double-check that your whipped topping, chocolate chips, or graham crackers are explicitly labeled "sugar-free" to keep the overall sugar content low.

Satisfying Crunch: Don't skip the mix-ins! The added texture from the sugar-free chips or crumbs provides a satisfying "mouthfeel" that can help contribute to a sense of fullness.
