Servings

Ingredients

6 oz 70% bittersweet chocolate
2 large eggs
10 drops drops liquid stevia extract (vanilla cream or plain)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 cup coconut milk (8 oz)

Instructions

Chop chocolate into small pieces. Using a long serrated bread knife or a heavy chef’s knife makes it easy. Place chopped chocolate into the bowl of a food processor. Process until very fine. Add the eggs, stevia, vanilla, and salt. Process for a few more seconds.
In a small pan over medium heat, bring the coconut milk to a boil. When it boils, remove from the heat.
Start the food processor, and slowly pour the hot milk through the feed tube. Process pudding until smooth.
Pour the hot liquid chocolate equally into six 2-ounce ramekins, dishes, or cups. Refrigerate until chilled and set, about 2 hours.
