Vegan Chocolate Pudding: Creamy, Rich, and Dairy-Free Delight
If you’re craving something sweet, smooth, and indulgent — without the dairy or eggs — this Vegan Chocolate Pudding will satisfy your dessert dreams. It’s rich, chocolatey, silky-smooth, and surprisingly simple to make with just a handful of pantry-friendly ingredients. Best of all, it’s 100% plant-based and perfect for anyone avoiding dairy, eggs, or animal products.
Why This Recipe Works
Traditional chocolate pudding relies on milk, cream, and eggs for its creamy texture, but this vegan version achieves the same luscious consistency using plant-based ingredients. The result? A dessert that’s just as comforting and decadent, with zero compromise on flavor or texture.
This recipe is also customizable — serve it warm for a cozy treat, or chill it for a refreshing and elegant dessert.
Ingredients You’ll Need
2 cups unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy, or coconut work well)
1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
1/3 cup granulated sugar (or maple syrup for refined sugar-free)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons cornstarch (for thickening)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
How to Make Vegan Chocolate Pudding
Whisk dry ingredients: In a medium saucepan (off heat), whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Add plant milk: Gradually whisk in the plant-based milk, making sure there are no lumps.
Cook the pudding: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly as the mixture heats up — it will begin to thicken after 5–8 minutes. Be patient and keep stirring to avoid lumps or sticking.
Add chocolate: Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the dark chocolate until melted and smooth. Then add vanilla extract.
Cool and serve: Pour the pudding into small jars or bowls. Enjoy warm, or cover with plastic wrap (pressing it onto the surface to avoid a skin forming) and chill for at least 1 hour for a classic, cool pudding.
Tips for Perfect Vegan Chocolate Pudding
Cornstarch is key for thickening — don’t skip it, and make sure it’s fully dissolved before heating.
Use good-quality cocoa powder and chocolate for the best flavor. This dessert really shines when you use rich, dark varieties.
Add a twist with a pinch of cinnamon, espresso powder, or a splash of almond extract for deeper flavor.
