This almond milk and chocolate pudding is ultra creamy, with an intense chocolate flavor, just the way I like it. I used almond milk not because I wanted to make a lactose-free version, but because I really like its taste and use it often. At the end of the recipe, you will find all the tips for making this simple spoon dessert entirely lactose-free!
It is prepared in no time, with a few simple ingredients and is also great for children’s snacks. Of course, it’s delicious as is, eaten by the spoonful without any additional toppings, although I, as you can see, like it with whipped cream and some extra chocolate shavings for a touch of crunchiness.
Try it, you’ll like it!

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 pinches salt
- 2 cups almond milk (or cow's milk if you prefer)
- 2 oz dark chocolate
- 2 oz milk chocolate
- to taste whipped cream
- to taste dark chocolate (shaved)
Steps
To make the almond milk and chocolate pudding, put the unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Stir.
Then pour in the almond milk and mix everything together with a whisk until you get a lump-free mixture. Turn on the heat and bring to a boil while stirring. Let it boil for about a couple of minutes until the mixture has thickened a bit.
Remove from heat and add the chocolate pieces. Stir until melted.
Pour the pudding while still warm into bowls or small glasses and let it cool or at least warm.
If you don’t want a skin to form on the surface, cover with cling film in contact.
Serve your almond milk and chocolate pudding with whipped cream and chocolate shavings to taste.
Suggestions
If you want to make the almond milk pudding entirely lactose-free, replace the milk chocolate with more lactose-free dark chocolate (possibly adjust the sugar quantity in that case) and serve with plant-based cream.
