Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a sugar substitute to this chocolate pudding? Yes, our recipe isn’t very sweet (it’s naturally sweetened by the coconut milk and coconut oil) so if you want your recipe to be a bit sweeter, include a teaspoon of stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener.

Can I use regular milk instead of coconut milk? Yes, as long as you use full fat milk, this recipe should work well with that substitution. If needed, whisk a bit of cornstarch or arrowroot powder into the pudding to help it thicken. In that case, it would not be dairy free or vegan.

How long does the pudding last in the refrigerator? The pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
