Ingredients

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, almond milk, cocoa powder, cornstarch, maple syrup, and salt until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubbles appear (about 5–7 minutes).
Reduce the heat to low and continue whisking for 2–3 more minutes, until thick and glossy.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the pudding into serving cups or bowls. Let cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
Serve chilled, topped with fresh berries or a sprinkle of toasted coconut if desired.
