Ingredients needed for this pudding
- Plant Based Milk – The plant based milk I used in this pudding is a unsweetened vanilla almond milk for the base, use your favorite plant based milk for the pudding.
- Sugar – The sweetener of choice is a pure cane sugar.
- Cornstarch – I used cornstarch to thicken the pudding.
- Salt – Salt will enhance the other ingredients in the pudding.
- Cocoa Powder – Using cocoa powder in the pudding adds intensity to the chocolate flavor.
- Real Vanilla Extract – The vanilla extract enhances the rich chocolatey flavor in the pudding.
How to make a Vegan Chocolate Pudding
In a medium sauce pan, add all the above ingredients.
Whisk everything together to break down the lumps of the cornstarch and cocoa powder.
Start heating the ingredients on medium heat while constantly stirring.
Bring everything to a boil.
Once everything is at a boil, continue cooking and stirring, for about 10 minutes or until the pudding thickens.
Once the pudding thickens, remove from the heat to cool.
If using your pudding for a ice cream topping, pour over your dish of ice cream, while the pudding is still warm.
Or if you are making a pie filling with this pudding, add the pudding to the pie crust, place in the refrigerator to cool and thicken, before serving.
But if enjoying just the pudding by itself, pour the warm pudding into dishes, place int the refrigerator to cool and serve with a dollop of your favorite whipped topping.
When storing your pudding or pie, cover and place in the refrigerator.
