DAIRY-FREE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Place six 4- to 6-ounce heatproof serving dishes on a rimmed baking sheet and make room for that baking sheet in your refrigerator.
• In a small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup of the almond milk with the cornstarch to combine. When the mixture is well combined, transfer it to a medium pot and whisk in the remaining 1 1/2 cups almond milk.
• Whisk the maple syrup, cocoa powder and fine sea salt into the almond milk and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, whisking constantly. The mixture will begin to bubble slightly around the edges and noticeably thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. When it does, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chocolate and vanilla extract until they are both fully incorporated.
• Spoon or pour the pudding into the serving dishes. Cover each pudding with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate the puddings until chilled, from 2 hours up to 5 days.
• Once the puddings are chilled, top with flaky salt. Serve immediately.
