- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or preferred liquid sweetener)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder (or carob powder), cornstarch (or arrowroot powder), and pinch of salt.
Step 2
Gradually add in the almond milk, whisking constantly to make sure there are no lumps.
Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Step 6
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl, and let cool for a few minutes at room temperature.
