Ingredients

  • Vegan dark chocolate – 6 oz 170 grams
  • Coconut milk – 2 cups 475 ml
  • Fresh mint leaves – 15
  • Agave syrup – 3 tablespoons 45 ml
  • Cornstarch – 2 tablespoons 30 grams
  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon 5 ml
  • Salt – a pinch

Instructions

  • Begin by finely chopping the vegan dark chocolate and set it aside in a bowl.
  • In a saucepan, warm the coconut milk but avoid letting it boil.
  • Add the fresh mint leaves to the coconut milk and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the minty flavor.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and a bit of coconut milk until smooth.
  • Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Stir in the agave syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  • Continue cooking until the mixture thickens slightly, resembling a custard-like consistency.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the chopped chocolate.
  • Stir until the chocolate has fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

Notes

TIPS
  • Opt for high-quality vegan chocolate to enhance the pudding’s flavor.
  • For an extra minty kick, you can add a few drops of mint extract.
  • The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
  • Serve the Vegan Chocolate and Mint Pudding chilled, garnished with a sprig of fresh mint or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
