Rich, thick and easy. Good luck not eating all of this in one sitting!

• 2 c coconut milk*
• 1/2 c cocoa powder
• 1 t vanilla extract
• 1 t instant coffee powder
• 1/4 t salt
• 6 egg yolks
• 1/4 c sugar

Over medium high heat, whisk together the coconut milk, salt and cocoa powder in a sauce pan. In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Once the coconut milk mixture has come to a simmer, slowly whisk in the egg yolk mixture. Turn the heat down to medium. Constantly whisk until the pudding has thickened. This will take about 3 minutes.

Pour the pudding through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. This removes any egg chunkies that may have coagulated in the pudding.

Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding (a “skin” will form on the top of the pudding if yo don’t do it!) and place in the fridge. The pudding will thicken as it cools.

{*You could use the carton variety of vanilla coconut milk and omit the sugar. }
