Ingredients
DRY MIX:
- 2/3 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 6 Tablespoons Corn Starch or Tapioca Starch
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
WET MIX:
- 4 Cups Milk Alternative like Coconut or Almond Milk (I like it a little bit creamier & substitute 1/2 Cup of the Milk for Full Fat Coconut Cream)
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together Dry Ingredients until smooth & lump free.
- Over Medium Heat, Slowly pour & whisk Milk & Vanilla into the saucepan.
- Continue to whisk until pudding is well blended.
- Stir pudding constantly as mixture thickens over heat. Scrape the bottom of the pan as you go, so it doesn’t set & burn.
- Once pudding begins to break bubbles at the surface (approx. 10 minutes), stir & cook for 1-2 minutes more and remove from heat.
- Let pudding set for 1-2 minutes & then pour into you prepared pie shell or cups.
- Chill in refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours before serving.

I started with a half batch and used Tapioca starch. It was almost jello consistency and had the jello jiggle. I’m Maine another half-batch today and only using 2.5 Tbsp tapioca starch to see how that goes.
My daughter loves it!
