Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa Dutch processed or cacao powder
  • ¼ cup gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
  • 1/8 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 13oz can full fat coconut milk*
  • 1 1/4 cups OWYN OR chocolate nut milk
  • 5 Tbs. pure maple syrup or coconut nectar
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract or paste

Instructions

  • 1- Whisk or sift cocoa powder before measuring. Add gfJules Flour  to help thicken the pudding, as well as the salt, then whisk again to be sure no lumps remain.
  • 2- In a 2-3 quart saucepan over medium heat, stir to combine coconut milk, chocolate nut milk or OWYN, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk in dry ingredients, then stir frequently until mixture begins to boil.
  • Once boiling, stir continuously for 2 more minutes. The pudding consistency will become thicker as it boils and will set even more after it is chilled.
  • 3- Remove from the heat and transfer to a glass or metal container with a lid or cover with plastic wrap touching the surface of the pudding to help prevent a “skin” from forming as it cools.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until fully cooled.

Notes

*Substitutes for canned coconut milk include other high fat nut milks like cashew or macadamia. Feel free, of course, to use heavy cream or whipping cream of any kind in place of the coconut milk in this recipe instead.
This pudding stays yummy covered in the fridge for up to 1 week. If it becomes at all lumpy or starts to separate, simply scoop the pudding into your blender, food processor or bowl with immersion blender and pulse until smooth again.
