Why This Recipe Is So Easy To Love
This dessert is rich, creamy, and completely plant-based, making it a guilt-free treat for everyone. It uses simple ingredients you likely have on hand, and it comes together quickly without any complicated steps.
Directions
Pour the soy milk into a saucepan and warm it over medium-low heat. Add the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt, then whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Keep the pan on the heat, stirring every minute or so, until it starts to bubble and thickens up—this usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Once it’s nice and creamy, take it off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool a bit before digging in, or pop it in the fridge if you prefer it chilled.
