Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 5 puddings
Ingredients
2⅓ cups reduced-fat (2%) milk
1 tablespoon coconut oil ¼ cup 100% pure maple syrup
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1¼ cups fresh raspberries
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, heat the milk and coconut oil, stirring, until the oil is melted. Add the maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt, and stir to incorporate.
In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch. Add to the saucepan and whisk to blend. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring regularly, until the pudding thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside to slightly cool.
Divide the pudding into each of 5 containers (about 1⁄2 cup each) and place plastic wrap over the pudding (make sure the plastic is touching the pudding). Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and then remove the plastic wrap and top each pudding with 1⁄4 cup of raspberries.
Storage: Place airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
