Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups canned coconut milk divided (from 2 cans coconut milk)
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Pour the coconut milk into a large bowl and whisk to remove any lumps.
  • Blend the cornstarch and 1/2 cup of coconut milk in a blender until everything is mixed and there are no cornstarch clumps; set aside.
  • Heat the remaining coconut milk in a saucepan with the salt, cocoa powder, and syrup. Whisk together so everything is combined.
  • When the milk is warm, add the cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir constantly for 2 minutes.
  • Lower heat to medium-low and simmer for an additional minute, then turn off the heat. Stir in the vanilla and chocolate chips and whisk until the chocolate melts.
  • Transfer the pudding into 4 cups or ramekins and place in the refrigerator to thicken. It gets thicker the longer it sits and will be ready to consume after about 4 hours or overnight. Enjoy!
