This low-FODMAP chocolate pudding recipe is the rich, creamy low-FODMAP chocolate decadence you have been craving. This recipe reminds me of a French pot-de-creme due to its extra thick consistency. However, since it is not a traditional custard (no eggs) it really is more appropriate to call it low-FODMAP chocolate pudding.
Top it with low-FODMAP coconut whipped cream, fresh low-FODMAP berries (like blueberries, strawberries or raspberries), or toasted low-FODMAP nuts (like peanuts, hazelnuts, pecans or walnuts). This low-FODMAP chocolate pudding is vegan and gluten-free, and absolutely to die for!

I was wondering if heavy whipping cream would be a good substitution for coconut milk?
Hi L,
We appreciate your question! This recipe was tailored to be dairy-free and vegan, at a time when whipping cream was not yet tested for its FODMAP content (and it was not an option that was available for our recipes). We have only prepared the recipe as is, and could not say for sure if heavy cream would have the same results. Sorry we can’t help more! If you try it, let us know 🙂
hi, I was wondering what an overall serving of this would be? I saw that it says serves 7-8 and as long as you have serving you will be within the low fodmap range
Hi Nicole,
We can’t provide an exact measurement, but about 3 ounces would likely be a serving. The serving size is mainly due to the amount of coconut cream in the product. Good luck!
