Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 0.25 cups Cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.33 cups Cane sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips (vegan)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar, and salt until evenly combined. This prevents lumps from forming.
Gradually add the almond milk, a little at a time, while whisking constantly. This ensures the dry ingredients dissolve smoothly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken. This usually takes about 5-8 minutes.
Once thickened, reduce the heat to low and add the vegan dark chocolate chips. Continue whisking until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the pudding is smooth and glossy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
Let the pudding cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
Serve chilled. You can garnish with fresh berries, whipped coconut cream, or shaved vegan chocolate, if desired.
