In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
Gradually add the almond milk to the dry ingredients while whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Keep stirring continuously to prevent the pudding from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the pudding starts to thicken, add the honey and vanilla extract. Continue to cook and stir for another 1 to 2 minutes until the pudding reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Transfer the pudding into serving bowls or jars and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Before serving, garnish each portion with dark chocolate chips if desired.
Enjoy your healthy and indulgent high-protein chocolate pudding!
