Recipe View In a small bowl, create a slurry by thoroughly mixing the cornstarch and water until a smooth paste forms. This prevents lumps in your pudding. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View In a large saucepan, whisk together the soy milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Gradually stir in the cornstarch paste, ensuring it is fully incorporated to avoid any clumps. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

Recipe View Place the saucepan over medium heat. Continuously stir the mixture, preventing it from sticking or burning. Cook until the pudding begins to boil and visibly thicken. Continue cooking and stirring for another 3 to 5 minutes to reach the desired consistency. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)
