Ingredients
Scale
Milk Base
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk (unsweetened or vanilla)
Sweeteners & Flavorings
- 1/4 cup sugar (white or organic white sugar)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Thickening Agent
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, pour in the almond milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Cook the Pudding: Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the milk and cocoa mixture. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for 5 to 6 minutes until the pudding thickens noticeably. Remove the saucepan from the heat once thickened.
- Cool and Chill: Let the pudding cool down to room temperature, then transfer it to serving dishes or containers. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the pudding to set completely and chill before serving.
Notes
- Use unsweetened almond milk to control sugar content or vanilla-flavored almond milk if you desire a sweeter result without extra sugar.
- Whisk the cornstarch and water thoroughly to avoid lumps in the pudding.
- Stir constantly while cooking to prevent the pudding from sticking or burning.
- Chilling time can be extended up to 4 hours for a firmer texture or served after just 1 hour for a softer pudding.
- This pudding is naturally dairy-free and can be enjoyed by those with lactose intolerance.
