In a medium saucepan, whisk together the carob powder and arrowroot powder until well combined and no lumps remain.
Gradually add the almond milk to the saucepan, whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Once it begins to thicken (about 5-7 minutes), reduce the heat to low and stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Continue to cook and whisk for another 2-3 minutes, or until the pudding has reached your desired thickness.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to individual bowls or ramekins.
Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap (to prevent a skin from forming) and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serve cold and garnish with fresh fruit, coconut whipped cream, or a sprinkle of extra carob powder if desired.
