Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-calorie milk alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sweetener (such as stevia or erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon Dark chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, granulated sweetener, and salt until well combined.
Gradually pour in 1/4 cup of almond milk, whisking constantly to form a smooth paste, ensuring there are no lumps.
Slowly add the remaining almond milk to the saucepan, whisking continuously until fully combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken. This should take about 5–7 minutes.
Once the custard has thickened to your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the custard cool slightly before dividing it evenly into 4 serving bowls or ramekins.
Optional: Garnish with a few dark chocolate chips for an extra indulgent touch.
Chill the custard in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours to set fully, or serve warm if preferred.
