Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.33 cup Vanilla protein powder
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, and cornstarch until smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it starts to thicken and small bubbles form around the edges. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Step 5
Allow the pudding to cool slightly, then transfer it into individual serving bowls or into a suitable container if you plan to chill it.
Step 6
Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, ensuring that the wrap is in contact with the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 7
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 1 hour to allow it to set fully.
Step 8
Before serving, give the pudding a quick stir for the best texture. Enjoy your creamy, low-fat chocolate protein pudding!
