Why This Recipe Is So Tasty
This dessert is rich, creamy, and full of flavor without any dairy or eggs. It combines the classic taste of chocolate and peanut butter in a healthy, plant-based way. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a guilt-free treat that satisfies sweet cravings.
Directions
Stir the cocoa powder, coconut sugar, cornstarch, and peanut butter powder in a saucepan. Gradually add about a quarter of the chocolate almond milk, whisking it in until everything is smooth. Turn the heat to medium-high, then slowly pour in the rest of the almond milk while whisking constantly. Keep stirring for around 8 minutes until the pudding thickens up nicely. Once it’s thick, take the pan off the heat and stir in the almond extract and peanut butter flavoring. Let the pudding cool down completely—at least an hour—before digging in.
