Vegan Chocolate Pudding

Prep Time

5 minutes

Cooking Time

10 minutes

Yields

4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 cups milk alternative (oat, almond, etc)
  • ½ cup date syrup
  • ½ cup raw cacao powder – cocoa powder works too
  • ¼ cup arrowroot
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In a medium pot, add the milk alternative, date syrup, vanilla extract, cacao powder and arrowroot. Then, stir and whisk well until all combined.
  2. Then, put on the stove and turn on the heat to medium-high. Whisk often, almost constantly until bubbly and thicker, about 7-10 minutes. Whisking a lot will prevent lumping.
  3. Once thicker, you can enjoy the pudding right away while still warm or cool it down first for a chilled treat
  4. To chill, put into 4 individual cups. Cover tightly and keep in fridge until cool, 1-2 hours.

Notes

If you don’t want to have a film form on top, make sure you cover it with plastic wrap and have the plastic touch the top of the pudding. Personally, I don’t mind the film because I don’t want to use plastic wrap on mine.

Store in the fridge, covered, for up to 5 days.

To serve, you can garnish with fresh fruits, whipped coconut cream, granola, nuts or seeds, etc.
