This vegan chocolate pudding is with nutty tahini and warming baharat spice is just as decadent as a classic chocolate pudding with even more depth of flavor. And, with no egg yolks to temper, it's as easy as it gets! Make this spiced chocolate pudding for a date night in, anniversary, or just a special treat to get over a mid-week slump.
Ingredients
-
1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder
-
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
-
2 tablespoons cornstarch
-
1/2 teaspoon baharat spice blend
-
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
-
2 cups (480g) unsweetened almond milk
-
4 ounces (113g) vegan semi sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (I like 60%)
-
1/3 cup (85g) tahini
Directions
Combine the dry ingredients and almond milk. In a medium cold saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, cornstarch, baharat, and salt. Pour in the almond milk and whisk until the dry ingredients have dissolved completely.
Cook the pudding. Set the pan over medium heat and bring the pudding to a boil, whisking constantly. Once boiling, continue to cook, stirring, for 1 more minute. Take the pan off the heat.
Add the chocolate and tahini. Add the chopped chocolate and tahini and stir until the chocolate has melted and the pudding is fully combined and smooth.
Chill. Pour the pudding into individual ramekins or a large serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate the pudding until set and thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours.
Serve. Serve the pudding cold, garnished with fresh berries and a generous drizzle of tahini.
Recipe Note
- Storage: The pudding can be made ahead and kept, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to four days.
