If you find the pudding texture is too thick, simply add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you get the perfect consistency. Note – this vegan dessert will thicken up slightly in the fridge.

Notes
Recipe Notes
Add More Chocolate
If you want it to be even more chocolatey, melt 100g of dark chocolate in the microwave and add it to the high-powered blender. This will give it a strong chocolate flavor whilst also making it more rich and luxurious.
Make It Creamy
If you aren’t too bothered about it being healthy, you could use a vegan heavy cream, coconut milk, or even coconut cream instead of plant-based milk in the recipe.
This mixed with the melted chocolate (above) would take it to a whole other level of deliciousness.
Add Extra Sweetness
If you find this recipe not quite sweet enough you could add an additional drizzle of agave syrup, or maple syrup.
You can even do this after you’ve taken it out of the blender. Simply give it a good stir and put it back in the fridge to marinade.
Make It Special
This special dessert would be perfect to have on valentine’s day as it’s so simple to make and can be made ahead of time so you can spend the evening with your special friend or loved one.
