Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, whisk together almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and well combined.
- Cook Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly to prevent lumps. Continue heating until the mixture thickens into a creamy pudding consistency, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes to let it set slightly and reduce the temperature before serving.
- Refrigerate: Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and fully set the pudding for the best texture and flavor.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve the pudding cold. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for extra indulgence. Enjoy your vegan chocolate pudding!
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk such as soy or oat milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup according to your taste preference.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of almond extract.
- Ensure constant stirring while cooking to avoid lumps and prevent the pudding from burning at the bottom.
- Leftover pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
