Are you looking for a rich and indulgent dairy-free dessert? Look no further! This super thick and creamy Chocolate Coffee Pudding is made with just a few simple ingredients and comes together in a matter of minutes.
A closer look at what’s inside:
Dairy-Free Milk
This recipe blends dairy-free milk with chocolate, coffee, and dates for a luscious pudding. Use your favorite milk — I used a homemade cashew milk that was lightly sweetened with maple syrup and vanilla extract. Feel free to sub in your favorite variety!
Medjool Dates
Dates help to thicken and sweeten this dessert. Dates are low-glycemic and quite nutritious. They are a good source of fiber, potassium, and magnesium. They are also high in antioxidants and thought to be beneficial for brain health.
Chocolate
Melt some unsweetened chocolate to include in this pudding. Chocolate has a handful of health benefits — like relieving stress, increasing antioxidants, improving heart health, boosting your mood, and more!
Coffee
While I don’t drink much coffee, I love the flavor of the stuff, especially when paired with chocolate! You can use regular or decaf coffee in this pudding depending on if you want to lower overall caffeine in the recipe.
