Ingredients

• 15-16 oz. whole fat ricotta (do not use skim or nonfat, it won’t have the same texture)
• ½ cup coconut sugar or regular sugar
• 4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
• ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Directions

1. Blend Ingredients
   In the bowl of a food processor, combine the ricotta, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
2. Chill the Pudding
   Once blended, scoop the pudding into your preferred serving vessels. Cover each with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to firm up.
3. Serve
   Serve the chilled pudding as is or add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.
