A delicious chocolate pudding recipe that is healthy, nearly dairy-free, and everyone will love it!
Everyone loves to have dessert and I don’t know anyone that would turn down a bowl of chocolate pudding. This version is made with coconut milk instead of typical dairy and instead of being loaded with sugar, is only sweetened with a bit of honey.
To make healthy Chocolate Pudding you will need:
- organic cocoa powder
- tapioca starch (flour)
- salt
- coconut milk
- honey
- eggs
- ghee
- vanilla extract
- sauce pan
- whisk
- sifter or sieve
- plastic wrap
To make this recipe, you will begin by sifting your cocoa powder and tapioca starch into a sauce pan.
Next you’ll add in some egg yolks, coconut milk, and salt. Whisk these all together until they are nice and smooth.
This pudding is sweetened with some lovely honey.
Cook this over medium heat until the pudding begins to gently boil. Continue to stir this as it cooks and let it bubble for about 10 minutes, until it gets nice and thick.
Stir a little ghee (or butter) and vanilla extract. Cook and stir it for another minute.
Transfer the pudding to a bowl and cover it with some plastic wrap, pressing the plastic wrap to the surface of the pudding. This will prevent a tough skin from forming on the top of the pudding.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours, or overnight. The pudding will thicken as it chills.
