Coconut Chocolate Pudding

I just made a discovery today. Coconut milk with chocolate when heated together tastes amazing along with vanilla and espresso. It makes the most dreamy and creamy pudding you could have ever tasted. This rich, decadent chocolate pudding is prepared with coconut milk instead of dairy (or you could use dairy) and because it is thickened with cornstarch instead of egg yolks, it’s totally vegan, too!

This healthy chocolate pudding can be:

Soy-free

Refined Sugar-free

Egg-free  

Gluten-free

Nut-free  

& Dairy-free!

Feel free to test out with different milks in this recipe to find your favorite taste and texture. If you use canned coconut milk, it is super thick and velvety like chocolate mousse. Also I love making the pudding with almond milk or cashew milk.

Flavour

You can also change up the flavor if you wish, by adding a few drops of pure peppermint extract,orange zest or even coconut extract along with the vanilla.

Topping

Garnish your puddings with dark chocolate shavings and shredded coconut, or layer your puddings with sliced strawberries or cherries  or other fruits for elegant parfaits!

For those of you looking for a 100% gluten-free and soy-free pudding, just be sure to check the ingredients of your dairy-free chocolate chips to make sure that there is no wheat gluten or soy-based ingredients included.

These are the silkiest pudding made with simple ingredients that will have you satisfied after a few scoops. It was so rich, creamy and ‘chocolatey’ and I couldn’t finish even one serving.( I got greedy and took a large serving for myself)

Perfect as a make-ahead dessert for a group of adults or as an afternoon treat for young kids. This Chocolate Coconut Pudding is as indulgent as a summer dessert could be minus all those calories
