This chocolate strawberry pudding is rich, creamy, and delicious. This dessert is a must-try if you love the flavor combination of dark chocolate and fresh strawberries.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Fresh strawberries are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and potassium. They add a sweet (but not overly sweet), slightly tart flavor to this pudding.
I like to use dark chocolate when making this dessert. You can substitute other types of chocolate if you prefer, but in that case you might want to use a double boiler method to melt the chocolate instead of melting it directly in a pan on the stove. Dark chocolate is less likely to seize compared to other types of chocolate, which is why an alternate melting method might be necessary if you want to make that substitution.
I used unsweetened almond milk in this pudding, but you can use any type of unsweetened milk you prefer. Oat milk or soy milk are my other favorites.
Vanilla extract complements the flavor of the dark chocolate and strawberries in this pudding. I recommend using pure vanilla extract as opposed to artificial vanilla flavoring if possible.
How to Make Chocolate Strawberry Pudding
Start by adding the chopped dark chocolate to a pot on the stove set to low heat. Cook, stirring constantly until the chocolate has melted, then immediately remove the pot from the heat.
Add the strawberries, milk, vanilla extract, and melted dark chocolate to a food processor.
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed.
Transfer the chocolate strawberry mixture to a bowl, then refrigerate it for 1 hour before serving.
