Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.33 cup Vanilla protein powder
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, and cornstarch until smooth and no lumps remain.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it starts to thicken and small bubbles form around the edges. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly, then transfer it into individual serving bowls or into a suitable container if you plan to chill it.
Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, ensuring that the wrap is in contact with the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 1 hour to allow it to set fully.
Before serving, give the pudding a quick stir for the best texture. Enjoy your creamy, low-fat chocolate protein pudding!
