Do you remember what you used to pack in your lunch when you were growing up? The special treats that you looked forward to when you sat down in the cafeteria?
I used to love Jello chocolate pudding cups. I didn’t have them all the time, it was more of a treat, but those were my favorite.
My children have never had a pudding cup, because they aren’t safe for them, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t still have delicious dairy free chocolate pudding.
This recipe for dairy free chocolate pudding is super simple to make, and it’s SO good. It’s made with just a few ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. It’s creamy, full of rich chocolate flavor, and just right when topped with whipped coconut cream. If you haven’t tried whipped coconut cream, it’s so easy! Watch the video below.
