Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- 0.33 cup Dark chocolate chips (vegan)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar, and salt until fully combined.
Slowly pour in the almond milk while whisking continuously to avoid any lumps.
Place the saucepan on medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken. This should take about 7-8 minutes.
Once the pudding thickens, turn the heat to low and add the dark chocolate chips. Stir until they are fully melted and the pudding is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or cups. Let it cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and set completely.
Serve chilled and garnish with fresh berries, coconut whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired.
