Just in time for Valentine’s Day – the best chocolate pudding ever!

It’s been years and years since I’ve created any recipes with refined sugar. You know this about me, right? And that’s exactly how long it’s been since I’ve made my family chocolate pudding.

That’s why I’m so excited to share this recipe with you. It’s entirely refined-sugar free.

I made this pudding for the first time on New Year’s Eve, but that was just the first of (what has already become) many! Since then I’ve been asked to make this again and again by family members who are not entirely whole food plant-based or vegan. For me that speaks volumes.

One serving idea…this is incredibly good topped with fresh berries!! Yum.

In short, we love this, and hope you do too!

PERFECT CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Servings: makes 6
Print

1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup organic cornstarch
pinch salt
2 cups soy milk, plain unsweetened
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons date syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

In a heavy medium-size saucepan, first whisk together the dry ingredients: cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in the wet ingredients: milk, date syrup, and vanilla. Keep whisking/stirring until no trace is visible of any of the dry ingredients. This step is important to ensure the cornstarch is completely dissolved before this mixture is heated.

Once mixed together very well, place pan on the stove and cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and is close to a boil. (This can take a few minutes. )

Adjust the heat as needed to reach a full boil, but don’t allow the heat to be so high that the bottom of the pan scorches. Once the pudding reaches a boil, lower the heat just enough to continue with this controlled boil for another minute or two, stirring continually with a silicone spatula as it continues to thicken to a rich thick pudding consistency.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully spoon pudding into 6 individual serving dishes.

Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Delicious topped with fresh berries!

Note: We adore the pudding skin…but if you do not, you can cover the pudding surface carefully with plastic wrap (making sure the wrap adheres well to the pudding itself) to prevent the skin from forming.
