Low FODMAP Simple Peppermint Cocoa Pudding Cups

Rich, cool, and deeply chocolatey with a bright hit of peppermint, these pudding cups are the kind of dessert that feels indulgent without requiring much effort at all. The whole thing comes together on the stovetop in under ten minutes of active cooking, then the fridge does the rest — making it an easy make-ahead treat for four. Chocolate desserts can be tricky to navigate on a low-FODMAP plan, but this recipe keeps the cocoa powder at a carefully measured amount per serving and uses lactose-free milk, so you get all the richness without the digestive worry. Cornstarch does the thickening work here, keeping the ingredient list short and the texture silky-smooth. Straining the pudding before it sets is a small step that makes a big difference — you get that glossy, spoonable consistency that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy. A press of plastic wrap directly on the surface prevents any skin from forming while it chills, so every cup comes out perfectly smooth. Finish with a cloud of dairy-free whipped topping and a pinch of crushed candy cane for a little crunch and a festive look that makes these cups as fun to serve as they are to eat.
