Chocolate and Vanilla Pudding

Chocolate and Vanilla Pudding

Salted Plains

 

Chocolate Pudding

1 can (1.5 C) full fat coconut milk

1/2 C unsweetened almond milk

4 T unsweetened cocoa powder

3 T arrowroot starch

4 T maple syrup

pinch salt

1 tsp vanilla

Vanilla Pudding 

1 can (1.5 C) full fat coconut milk

1/2 C unsweetened almond milk

3 T arrowroot starch

4 T maple syrup

pinch salt

1 T vanilla 

(optional 2-3 drops yellow food coloring)

 

1. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk and almond milk. Warm over medium heat, whisking in cocoa powder (for chocolate pudding) and arrowroot starch until fully combined and dissolved. 

 

2. Add maple syrup and salt, stirring regularly as it thickens and comes to a low boil. It may not boil before it seems thick enough. If it does boil, let it cook another minute while stirring, then take off the heat. Stir in vanilla, and transfer to a glass bowl.

 

3. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before putting a piece of plastic onto the surface of the pudding and over the bowl. Let chill until completely set (minimum 1-2 hours). Keep in fridge for up to 3-4 days.

Enjoy over crepes, layer in a pudding cup, added to eclair cake, or plain!
