Description

This almond milk pudding made with cocoa powder is super creamy and chocolaty. It's just as delicious as traditional chocolate pudding but it's dairy free.

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar, or to taste
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Whisk sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt together in a saucepan off the stove. Add 1/4 cup almond milk; whisk until smooth and foamy. Continue adding almond milk, 1/4 cup at a time, whisking after each addition.
2 Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a simmer and starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
3 Remove from the heat and stir in butter until melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla, then pour pudding into a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
