Ingredients
Here’s a basic version, but feel free to tweak it to your liking:
- 1 ¾ cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- ¼ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- ¼ cup cornstarch or arrowroot powder (for thickening)
- ¼ cup maple syrup or agave (or to taste)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional: ¼ cup dairy-free chocolate chips for extra richness
Instructions
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium saucepan (off the heat), whisk together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
2. Add Wet Ingredients
Slowly add the almond milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Then add the maple syrup and mix until smooth.
3. Cook Until Thick
Place the pan over medium heat and stir constantly. As the mixture heats, it will begin to thicken. Keep stirring for 5–7 minutes until it reaches a pudding-like consistency.
4. Stir in Vanilla and Chocolate (if using)
Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and optional chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and fully melted.
5. Chill and Serve
Pour into serving dishes and let cool for 10–15 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours. Serve chilled and garnish with fresh berries, coconut whipped cream, or shaved chocolate.
