Coconut Milk Chocolate Pudding in a small glass jar with a smooth glossy cocoa surface.

Coconut Milk Chocolate Pudding

Remember Snack Packs? This is the allergy-friendly glow-up. Thick, chocolatey, and made with five ingredients. I serve it warm for cozy nights and chilled with coconut whip for fancier vibes.

Key Ingredients

  • full-fat canned coconut milk So Delicious or Thai Kitchen

  • vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Whisk cocoa, starch, and sugar in a saucepan.

Notes

Rachel tip: If you’ve ever had pudding separate or turn lumpy, it’s because of the heat. Stir constantly on medium-low and don’t walk away. Make-ahead: This is a dream for parties—just chill and serve in tiny jars with spoons.
