Vegan Chocolate Pudding

This vegan chocolate pudding is a thick, decadent texture and so rich thanks to avocado, tahini and super creamy oat milk.

Our circles are filled with family and friends that are avoiding dairy, allergic or have chosen a vegan lifestyle so we are constantly trying to revamp our favorite recipes so that everyone can dig in. Case in point, our decadent chocolate pudding, but this time ditching the cream and eggs.

We had the opportunity recently to try a new dairy-free, milk-like drink called Oatly. Oatly is made from oats and is super creamy and delicious. We’ve especially fallen in love with their Barista Edition. Not only does it foam up perfectly for coffee drinks, but it’ great for dessert and baking. Plus, it has no funky ingredeints. We’re on board!

This milk gave our pudding the perfect creamy flavor and a smooth, thick texture that we want in any chocolate-loaded dessert. It has seriously made us rethink ever using regular cream in our pudding again. Check out the other cool dairy-free foods Oatly makes here. You’re about to fall in love.

Notes

This vegan pudding is so rich and decadent. Plan on serving small portions. While it can be enjoyed right out of the fridge, we like to sit it out on the counter for 30 minutes or so and allow it to come to room temperature.
