Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Cooling Time 3 hours
Total Time 3 hours 20 minutes
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 cups oat milk
  • 2-3 oz bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped)
  • dash sea salt
  • 1 tbsp instant espresso
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • cinnamon (for dusting on top) (optional)
  • whipped topping (optional)

Instructions

  • In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt.
  • Slowly whisk in the 2 cups oat milk until smooth and combined. Stir the mixture constantly over medium-low heat.  Continue stirring until it begins to bubble and thicken. The pudding should coat the back of the spoon (about 10-15 minutes).
  • Add the chopped bittersweet chocolate and stir it into the pudding until fully combined, and the pudding is thick and smooth (about 1 minute). 
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and instant espresso until the espresso is fully dissolved. Spoon into a bowl, cover, and chill for about 3 hours before eating.  (You can eat warm too if preferred, but it will thicken as it cools.)  Top with cool whip and a dash of cinnamon, and enjoy!
