Earth Day Pudding Cups (+ VIDEO)

April 14, 2015 by Cara

If you can’t plant a tree then do the next best thing and save the planet with these Plant-a-tree Earth Day Pudding cups. Made with my favorite Chocolate Pudding recipe as a base, this is an easy-to-assemble allergen-friendly snack that you will love making (but not as much as eating).

Plant a Tree for Earth Day Pudding Cups (+ VIDEO)

 

It’s as easy as this:

Fill in two small cups full of nondairy chocolate pudding. You can follow the recipe here or even watch the video tutorial on how to make it here.

Top the pudding with raw cacao nibs. Now you can also use shredded coconut that has been lightly colored with an all-natural green food coloring. Check out this recipe to see how you color the coconut.Plant a Tree Chocolate Pudding  Cups  (+ VIDEO)

 

 Top the pudding with the homemade pretzel sprout. This video shows how to do it:

And seriously that is it; a fun way to celebrate this upcoming Earth Day!

    These are so cute and look delicious. I am going to make these for US Veg Out Week for me and and my hubby. I have recipes for sweet potatoes in brownies but not in pudding! Can’t wait to try–I”m too afraid to make brownies lest I eat too many. Thanks for sharing.

    These are so adorable! My kids would get a big kick out of these because they are watching their own seedlings grow in cups for their garden!
