Creamy, luscious, and addictively delicious healthy dark chocolate pudding made with simple wholesome ingredients like coconut milk, almond milk, coconut sugar, a touch of maple syrup, and high quality cocoa powder.
Whisk the almond milk, cornstarch, salt, egg, and vanilla in a bowl. Set aside.
Place coconut milk, the coconut sugar, maple syrup, and the cocoa in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, over medium-high heat, watching constantly so it does not burn. Remove from the heat.
Gradually whisk the hot coconut milk into the egg and almond milk mixture. Return to the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat whisking constantly, until the pudding comes to a full boil, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and continue whisking until thick, about 2 or 3 minutes more.
Pour pudding mixture into a large bowl. Allow to cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, allowing the plastic wrap to touch the pudding, so the pudding does not form a top layer. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Top with coconut whipped cream, serve and enjoy!
The recipe is best served with a dollop of coconut whipped cream and shaved dark chocolate.
Using good quality cocoa powder will lead to a richer more decadent pudding.
