Eggless Vegan Chocolate Pudding

This rich chocolate pudding gets its silky texture from a cornstarch-thickened base, whisked with cocoa powder and cane sugar until perfectly smooth. Coconut milk and dairy free milk simmer together into a thick, glossy custard that coats the back of a spoon, no eggs required for that lush, spoonable set. Melted chocolate and a touch of vanilla deepen the flavor right at the end, giving it that glossy, restaurant-quality finish. Straining the pudding before it chills ensures a completely smooth, lump-free bite every time. Chilled in individual ramekins, it sets up into a make-ahead dessert that's rich, creamy, and satisfying without any egg-based custard base. It's an easy win for an egg free dessert rotation, especially when you want something that feels indulgent but comes together with pantry staples.
