Ingredients

• 2 cups unsweetened soy milk
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more), chopped
• 2 tablespoons toasted nuts (e.g., almonds, pistachios)
• 0.5 cups fresh berries (e.g., raspberries, blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened soy milk and cornstarch. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and no lumps remain.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring the mixture does not stick to the bottom.

Step 3

As the mixture begins to warm, add the pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Continue stirring to evenly combine the ingredients.

Step 4

Cook the mixture for about 8-10 minutes, or until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 5

While the pudding is still hot, stir in the chopped dark chocolate until melted and fully incorporated.

Step 6

Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins. Let it cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours, or until set.

Step 7

Before serving, garnish each serving with a scattering of toasted nuts and fresh berries for added texture and Mediterranean-inspired flavor.

Step 8

Serve chilled and enjoy!
