Gluten Free Chocolate Pudding (Dairy Free) Recipe
Description
The Gluten Free Chocolate Pudding uses oat milk as a dairy-free base combined with cacao powder and melted dark chocolate to achieve rich chocolate flavor. Brown sugar sweetens the pudding, while cornstarch provides thickness during simmering. The mixture is carefully heated over medium-low heat and whisked until it pulls away from the pan, signaling readiness.
Once thickened, vanilla extract enhances the aroma and flavor, balancing the bittersweet elements. The pudding has a smooth, creamy texture with no gluten or dairy components, making it suitable for sensitive diets. It can be enjoyed warm directly after preparation or chilled for a firmer consistency.
The pudding is commonly served with whipped cream, coconut cream, or chocolate toppings, and can be garnished with cacao nibs or fresh fruit to complement the rich chocolate base. A plastic wrap applied on the surface during refrigeration prevents skin formation, and whisking before serving restores smoothness.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup dark brown sugar packed
- ⅓ cup cacao powder unsweetened
- 2 tablespoons corn starch 1 teaspoon
- 2 ¼ cups oat milk unsweetened
- 3 ounces dark chocolate chopped
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- Pinch salt sea salt
Instructions
- In a medium size saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cacao powder, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk ingredients together.
- While whisking, pour in the oat milk.
- Turn the heat to medium low and bring to a slow simmer.
- Continue to whisk frequently until the mixture is thickened enough to pull away from the sides of the pot, this will take between 10-15 minutes.
- Once thickened, add in the chopped chocolate and mix until melted and the pudding is smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and transfer to small jars or one serving bowl.
- Serve with whipped cream, coconut cream (dairy free), a sprinkle of brown sugar, cacao nibs, shaved chocolate, mini chocolate chips, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- The pudding can be enjoyed warm or chilled; chilling thickens the texture further.
- When refrigerating, cover the pudding surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Before serving cold pudding, whisk it again to smooth out any thickened parts.
- Consider topping with whipped cream, coconut cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit for added texture and flavor.
