Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder/tapioca starch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 –3 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins (for extra flavor/richness):
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter or coconut oil
- 1 oz melted sugar-free dark chocolate
Instructions
- Step 1: In a saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder, cornstarch, sweetener, and salt until fully combined with no lumps.
- Step 2: Gradually pour in almond milk — first ½ cup to form a paste, then the rest. Whisk well.
- Step 3: Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. After 5–8 minutes, once it starts to bubble, reduce heat to low and cook for 1–2 minutes until thickened.
- Step 4: Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract. If using vegan butter or melted chocolate, add now and mix until smooth.
- Step 5: Transfer pudding into jars or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap (touching the surface). Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and thicken.
