Ingredients

  • 6 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • pinch salt
  • Pinch espresso powder, optional
  • 3 cups unsweetened diary-free milk such as Milkadamia macadamia nut milk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp. solid coconut oil
  • Whipped topping/ cream, optional for serving

Directions

  1. Sift cocoa, granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt and expresso powder into a medium saucepan.

  2. Whisking constantly, pour in the nut milk and vanilla extract and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Immediately reduce heat to low and cook, whisking frequently, for 5 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from het and stir in cocoanut oil.

  3. Pour pudding into ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until chilled and set.

  4. Serve with a dollop of whipped topping.

  5. Note: To make your own dairy-free whipped “cream”, refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk for several hours- long enough for the fat to separate and rise to the top of the liquid. Then scrape off the solid fat and whip it with a tsp. or so of sugar as you would heavy cream.
