Tips and Tricks

Thickening the Pudding

If your pudding isn’t thick enough after 10 minutes, continue cooking and stirring over low heat for a few extra minutes. The mixture will thicken more as it cools, so don’t rush it.

Adjusting Sweetness

You can easily adjust the sweetness by adding a little more or less coconut sugar, depending on your preference. Taste as you go!

Make It Extra Creamy

For an even creamier texture, try using canned coconut milk instead of almond milk. It adds a richer flavor and creaminess.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure to press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

Serving Ideas

Top your chocolate pudding with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture. It’s also delicious with a dollop of whipped coconut cream.

Ingredient Substitutions

Almond Milk

If you don’t have almond milk, you can use any other plant-based milk like oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk. Regular dairy milk also works if you’re not avoiding dairy.

Coconut Sugar

If coconut sugar isn’t available, swap it with brown sugar, maple syrup, or even honey. Keep in mind, liquid sweeteners may slightly change the consistency, so adjust the thickness as needed.

Cocoa Powder

No cocoa powder? Unsweetened dark chocolate or chocolate chips can be melted and used instead. Just reduce the sweetener slightly, as these are usually more intense in flavor.

Cornstarch

If you’re out of cornstarch, try using arrowroot powder or tapioca starch. These will also thicken the pudding, but the cooking time may vary a bit.
