Ingredients

When it comes to preparing this homemade chocolate pudding from scratch, it’s important to use high-quality cocoa powder. The cocoa powder is the star of this dessert. So using a high-quality cocoa powder will make all the difference in the final product. Or just preferably use anything other that hot chocolate powder. Additionally, it’s important to use boiling water when making the sauce. The boiling water helps to dissolve the sugar and cocoa powder. Creating a smooth and silky sauce that perfectly complements the pudding.

• Gluten Free flour - This can either be gluten free plain or self-raising flour. If you don’t want to make this gluten free - look at my substitutes list below.
• Dairy Free Butter – This can be in spread or block form at room temperature .
• Caster sugar – I like to use caster sugar in my cakes which is just very refined sugar. So if you can’t find caster sugar I’d recommend using refined or normal granulated sugar.
• Flax seed - this is combined with water to act as our egg substitute.
• Ice Cream - I used plant based double cream to make this dairy free
• For extra sweetness drizzle this pudding with some vegan caramel. Check out my super easy 3 ingredient caramel here.

MICROWAVE IT

That's right you can make this pudding in the microwave in less than 5 minutes! Simply divide the recipe by 4, following the same principles of this recipe but instead of baking it, microwave your pudding in a small microwave safe dish for 2 minutes. That's it!

Equipment

One of the secrets to making a perfect vegan pudding easy, is to use the right baking dish. A shallow baking dish is best for this dessert, as it allows the pudding to cook evenly and the sauce to form at the bottom of the dish.

Additionally, it’s important to let the pudding cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken and become gooey, creating the perfect texture of cake with chocolate pudding.For this recipe you’ll need a heatproof glass/ceramic dish, this is the one I used which I greased and floured to prevent it sticking to the dish.
