Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 ounces Dark chocolate (non-dairy, roughly chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and sugar until evenly mixed.
Slowly pour in the coconut milk and almond milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon to prevent sticking.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and continue stirring as it thickens, about 7–8 minutes.
Once thickened, add the chopped dark chocolate, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the pudding is smooth.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before pouring into serving dishes or ramekins.
Cover each dish with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Serve chilled, garnished with fresh fruit, coconut whipped cream, or a sprinkle of shaved chocolate, if desired.
