Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Pudding

This silky chocolate pudding comes together on the stovetop with cocoa powder, cornstarch, and a touch of cane sugar whisked into a smooth, glossy base of coconut milk and dairy free milk. A little chopped chocolate, vanilla, and a spoonful of vegan butter get whisked in at the end for that deep, melt-in-your-mouth richness and a beautiful sheen. Straining the mixture before it hits the ramekins is the trick to that ultra-smooth, spoon-coating texture with zero lumps. Chilled until fully set, it turns into the kind of make-ahead dessert you can portion out and forget about until you're ready for something rich and chocolatey. It's a simple, satisfying treat that fits neatly into a gluten free dessert rotation, no special equipment or fuss required.
