Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cacao powder
- 1 scoop dairy-free chocolate protein powder
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)
- 0 banana slices (for serving, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk and cornstarch until the cornstarch is completely dissolved, with no lumps remaining.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the unsweetened cacao powder, dairy-free chocolate protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk everything together until smooth.
Step 3
Continue to stir the mixture frequently as it heats, for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until it starts to thicken. The pudding should coat the back of a spoon.
Step 4
If desired, stir in the dairy-free chocolate chips until they are melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 6
Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 7
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set fully.
Step 8
Serve chilled, garnished with optional banana slices or any other desired toppings.
