Vegan Chocolate Pudding with Tahini

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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • Storage: The pudding can be made ahead and kept, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to four days.
