Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust
- Crush graham crackers using food processor into crumbs, add in melted butter and sugar and press into a pie pan. Place in freezer while making pudding or you could use a pre-made crust. Pie crust can also be put in fridge for 15 minutes before preparing pudding.
Vegan Chocolate Pudding
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup almond milk until foamy and smooth. Continue adding almond milk, 1/4 cup at a time, to cocoa mixture until mixture is smooth and foamy each time.
- Place saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring continuously, until mixture comes to a simmer and starts to thicken nicely, about 5 minutes.
- Remove saucepan from heat and stir in butter until melted and smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Pour pudding into serving bowls, pie crust, layered pudding dessert and refrigerate until chilled. Refrigerate pie 1 hour. Pudding is also excellent semi-hot after serving too! Add your favorite fruits or vegan whipped cream too!
Notes
- For a darker chocolate flavor, use the 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder as specified in the ingredients list.
- If you prefer a milder, milk chocolate flavor, you can reduce the cocoa powder to 1/4 cup.
