Ingredients

4 cups almond milk unsweetened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup cornstarch
¼ cup unsweetend cocoa powder
60 grams dark chocolate baker's chocolate or chocolate chips
berries; chopped nuts or whipped cream optional garnishes

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Roughly chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
In a medium sized sauce pan, whisk together the cornstarch, sugar and cocoa powder.
Pour in the almond milk and whisk until smooth.
Place the pan on the burner over medium high heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and begins to thicken and has a pudding like texture. This will take from 5-6 minutes.
Once thickened, turn off the heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until fully incorporated. Immediately pour the pudding into glasses, ramekins or container of your choice as it begins to set as it cools.
Once slightly cooled, place plastic wrap directly on the pudding to prevent a skin from forming as it cools.
Refrigerate to let cool and set completely before serving, about 3 hours. Enjoy as is or garnish with fruit, chopped nuts or whipped cream.

Notes

Substitutions and Variations

-You may replace dark chocolate with milk chocolate, if you prefer. Since it does contain sugar, reduce the amount of granulated sugar. This is really a question of personal taste and how sweet you like your pudding. Start by reducing sugar to 1/4 cup and adjust according to your taste.
-To elevate the flavors, add a pinch of salt along with the dry ingredients in the first step.
-Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor.
-Try layering the pudding with cookies as in this biancomangiare with cookies recipe.

To Garnish

You can definitely enjoy this pudding as is or for a fancier presentation top with berries such as raspberries; blueberries or strawberries; chopped nuts such as pistachios or a dollop of whipped cream.

Storage

Keep leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days.
