Finally, a recipe for Vegan Chocolate Pudding that does not contain either avocado OR any specialty ingredients! The taste with this one is on point and I’ll give you a few options along the way. Get all of your ingredients out and ready, because this recipe comes together in under 15 minutes!
In a large sauce pan over medium high heat, add 2 cups of non-dairy milk. I prefer almond milk because it seems a bit thicker. Another really good option would be canned coconut milk. I used sugar to sweeten, but you could use maple syrup (I am just not a fan of the taste) or even something like coconut sugar or Stevia. We’ll also be adding a pinch of salt and the cocoa powder to this mixture. Whisk to incorporate and do so slowly or you will be covered in cocoa powder 😉
While the cocoa mixture is getting warm, whisk together another 1/2 cup of your non-dairy milk of choice and cornstarch (or arrowroot). Doing this separately and while cold keeps lumps from forming.
Once the cocoa powder mixture has come to a boil, I actually tasted it and decided … it needed more sugar. I’ll give you my measurement, but you can adjust it to your individual taste. Now, add the cornstarch mixture and whisk. I mean, constantly.
You will go from this….to this…in the blink of an eye! Keep whisking on high heat for two minutes. Reduce the heat to low and keep whisking until completely smooth. Remove from the heat.
Off the heat, add the vanilla extract and non-dairy chocolate chips, chunks, bars cut into chunks…dark, semi-sweet, your choice. I ended up with a pretty heaping 1/3 cup of chips, so let’s call it 1/2 cup 🙂 Whisk until completely smooth. I know, a lot of whisking in this recipe!
Pour into your desired serving dishes (you can find these mini trifle dishes here) as it will begin to set up immediately! I neglected to place plastic wrap over mine while it was still hot which helps avoid a skin. Be sure to do it right away. For best results, refrigerate overnight (or at the very least, 4 hours) as it will continue to firm up as it chills.
I made some sweetened coconut milk whipped cream, topped it off with a few blueberries (any fruit will do) and of course, a sprig of fresh mint for garnish. And there you have it. A delicious Vegan Chocolate Pudding without any avocado or specialty ingredients!
