Chocolate Pudding - Dairy Free

The best vegan chocolate pudding!  This is the real deal--chocolatey, rich, and creamy.

Serves: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

• 1 (13oz) can full fat coconut milk
• 1¼ cups unsweetened almond milk
• 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
• 4 Tbsp arrowroot starch/arrowroot flour
• ⅓ cup coconut or maple sugar
• ⅔ cup dairy free chocolate chips
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp almond extract (optional)
• pinch salt

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder, arrowroot, and sugar. Pour in the coconut and almond milk and whisk to combine. Bring to a bubble over medium heat, stirring regularly. The mixture will slowly thicken as it comes to a low boil. Whisk it for about 2 minutes after it starts bubbling. You'll feel it thicken.

Remove from the heat and stir in chocolate chips, vanilla, almond (if using), and salt. Whisk until smooth.

Refrigerate until completely chilled. (Pudding will continue to thicken as it cools).

If the pudding ends up thicker than you prefer, you can thin it out with a tiny drizzle of additional almond or coconut milk.
