1 tablespoon coconut oil or canned coconut cream, optional
1 cup vegan chocolate chips
2 tablespoons water
2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup sugar of choice
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
To a blender, add the non-dairy milk, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Blend until smooth and everything is dissolved.
Next, add a bit of coconut oil or cream (if using) to a medium nonstick pot and allow to melt over medium heat. Once it is hot, add the chocolate chips and stir constantly until fully melted.
Now add the contents of the blender to the pot and whisk until everything is well incorporated. Keep whisking frequently (but you don’t need to do it constantly once everything is fully combined) until the mixture has thickened, between 4 and 7 minutes. Mine always thickens in 3-4 minutes but that’s because I use the power burner. Because the power burner gets really hot I do recommend whisking constantly if you want to go that route. It’s faster but a bit higher maintenance.
If you find that it is not thickening enough (remember it will thicken some in the fridge), you can mix another tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot powder in a small bowl (whisk until dissolved) and pour that into the pot and mix to combine.
Once the pudding has thickened, add it to the heat safe container(s) and allow to cool for 15 minutes before putting on a lid (or some kind of cover, like plastic wrap).
Refrigerate until cold (at least 3-4 hours). It will firm up a bit more in the fridge.
Serve, optionally with vegan whipped cream and chocolate shavings or sprinkles. Enjoy!
