So one of the things my kid who has a milk allergy always sees is other kids eating ready-to-eat chocolate pudding in their lunch box. I always felt bad telling her she cant eat it or try it. So I was a mama on a mission when I reinvented this recipe. On google and youtube I saw few people making chocolate pudding with marshmallow and I wanted to try making it dairy-free. I had to change up some of the measurements, which could be due to the fact that I use oatmilk instead of regular milk. This recipe is Gluten-free, and dairy-free however it is not vegan as I used marshmallows with gelatin in it.
Tips to make a perfect pudding:
– Since this chocolate pudding only requires few ingredients I would recommend using high quality Cacao powder or cocoa powder.
– I used Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate chips you can also substitute it with dark chocolate chips of the same brand.
– In the final step don’t skip the straining of the pudding into the ramekins as this process gives the silky smooth texture that you desire in a pudding.
– Remember to take the pot off the heat before adding the chocolate chips as you don’t want the mixture to burn.
