The Best chocolate pudding almond milk recipe

I’m so excited to share this amazing chocolate pudding almond milk recipe with you! I’ve been making it for years, and it’s always a hit with my family.

The best part is that it’s incredibly easy to make and requires only a few ingredients. I love how the almond milk gives the pudding a creamy texture without all the calories of traditional heavy cream.

Plus, it’s a great way to get some extra protein and healthy fats into your diet. My kids adore helping me mix together the pudding, and they always get so excited when they see the finished product.

🥘Ingredients

Ingredients

3 cups almond milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp butter

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a medium saucepan, whisk together almond milk, sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt over medium heat until smooth.
2Heat the mixture until it just starts to bubble and thicken.
3Stir constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
4It should take about 5-7 minutes to reach this stage.
5Once the mixture thickens, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
6The pudding should be smooth and glossy at this point.
7Pour the pudding into ramekins or small bowls.
8Cover each bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring the plastic touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
9Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
10Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
11You can also make the pudding a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
12Before serving, give the pudding a quick stir.
13If desired, top with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for added flavor and presentation.
14Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free chocolate pudding.
