Ingredients
  

For the pudding
  • 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk Can substitute with soy or oat milk.
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate protein powder Choose your favorite brand for best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder Dark cocoa powder works for a richer taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Sweetener of choice Honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute can be used.
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch For thickening; can use arrowroot powder as an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Always opt for pure vanilla for the best flavor.
  • a pinch Salt Enhances the overall flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Whisk together the almond milk, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt over medium heat in a saucepan.
  2. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool for a few minutes.
  4. Pour the pudding into serving bowls and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

Make sure to whisk continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking or burning. For a denser pudding, allow it to cook a bit longer until it reaches the desired consistency. Experiment with different types of sweeteners to find the taste that you prefer. If you want a full chocolate experience, consider adding dark chocolate chips right before serving. Always chill the pudding before serving; this helps firm it up and improve the texture.
