Chocolate Orange Oat Milk Pudding

Ingredients

• 2 cups oat milk (or other non-dairy milk)
• 3 - 4 oz dark chocolate bar, (chopped)
• 1/3 cup granulated sweetener, (sugar or Monkfruit with erythritol sweetener)
• 1/3 cup cocoa
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp orange zest (finely grated)
• 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine dry ingredients, add oat milk: In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetener, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Add the oat milk gradually, stirring until smooth.

2. 2

   Heat gently until thickened: Over medium-low heat, stir constantly until the pudding starts to thicken. It will form bubbles around the edge.

3. 3

   Add chopped chocolate: Once it coats the back of a metal spoon (in 5 - 8 minutes) add the chopped chocolate pieces.

4. 4

   Stir until melted: Over low heat, stir until the chocolate has melted and the pudding is smooth and thick.

5. 5

   Stir in vanilla extract and orange zest: Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and the orange zest.

6. 6

   Transfer to dessert glasses and garnish.: Transfer to individual dessert glasses or ramekins. Garnish with more orange zest if you'd like. The pudding will thicken as it cools.
