Hi Bold Bakers!
Is there ever really a bad time for chocolate pudding? Some might argue that there is – that it’s too rich and not so healthy, or even made from unnatural ingredients and full of sugar. Well, my recipe for Vegan Chocolate Pudding is here to show you chocolate pudding can be made guilt-free and full of nutritious ingredients without giving up any of that richness or flavor!
I know you’re thinking it’s not possible, but it is and it only takes 15 minutes and 4 wholesome ingredients. My vegan chocolate pudding is made by simply combining good quality cocoa, coconut cream (this is that lovely cream at the top of the can of coconut milk), pure maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Not only do I love digging into this rich treat but I thoroughly enjoy making it. It really is as easy as mixing it all up in a sauce pan and bringing it to a bubble. After that, I pour my Vegan Chocolate Pudding into pretty individual tea cups, making for a super special presentation.
The Vegan Chocolate Pudding sets up in as little as 30 minutes and can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days, making this a killer make-ahead dessert. Whether I’m entertaining or just in need of that creamy chocolate hit, I love this gorgeous pudding. You’ll have to give it a try for yourself. You’re welcome!
