Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Dairy-free chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually pour in the almond milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken. This usually takes about 8–10 minutes.
Once the pudding thickens to a custard-like consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the pudding evenly into serving dishes or ramekins.
Let the pudding cool slightly, then cover it with plastic wrap, ensuring the plastic directly touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
Before serving, garnish with dairy-free chocolate chips or your preferred topping (optional).
