Description
This gluten-free, dairy-free chocolate almond pudding is rich, creamy, and a healthier dessert option with a delightful nutty undertone.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/3 cup sugar (70g)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa (35g)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (48g)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 cups almond milk (24 oz.)
- 1 tsp chocolate extract or vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp non-dairy butter substitute (44g)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, unsweetened cocoa, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
- Slowly whisk in the almond milk, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate extract or vanilla extract and non-dairy butter substitute until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Pour the pudding into serving dishes and let it cool to room temperature. For a chilled dessert, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Notes
For a stronger almond flavor, use almond extract instead of vanilla. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Use vanilla-flavored almond milk for added sweetness. Stir constantly to prevent the pudding from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
