Lactose Free Vegan Chocolate Pudding

This creamy, deeply chocolatey pudding gets its rich base from full-fat coconut milk, whisked with cocoa powder and just the right amount of cornstarch for a silky, spoon-coating texture. Melted chocolate, a touch of vanilla, and a pat of buttery richness get folded in off the heat, giving the finished pudding that glossy, restaurant-worthy sheen. Straining it before it chills is the trick to that perfectly smooth, no-lumps finish, and pressing plastic wrap right onto the surface keeps it soft and skin-free. Portioned into individual ramekins and chilled until set, it's an easy make-ahead dessert that's just as good for a weeknight craving as it is for entertaining. This one is a solid pick for a lactose free dessert spread, delivering all the classic chocolate pudding comfort without missing a beat.
