In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Stir until smooth.
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, whisking frequently to prevent clumping or sticking, until it begins to steam (do not let it boil).
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot starch and water to make a slurry. Ensure there are no lumps.
Slowly pour the arrowroot slurry into the saucepan while whisking continuously to thicken the pudding base.
Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate and sea salt. Keep stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and incorporated into the pudding.
Let the pudding cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to individual serving bowls or jars.
Cover the bowls with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled and set.
Serve chilled and garnish with fresh berries, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cacao nibs if desired.
