Ingredients

1 15- ounce 435 g can unsweetened pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1/3 cup 75 mL unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1/2 cup 125 mL plant-based vanilla or chocolate protein powder
1 cup 237 mL full fat coconut milk (well-stirred)
3 tablespoons 45 mL maple syrup (see notes for options)
Optional: toasted or raw green pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

Instructions

In a blender (I used a Vitamix) or food processor, process all of the ingredients, except the optional pepitas, until well blended and smooth, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl or blender pitcher with a spatula.
Scrape into a big container or into individual jars or ramekins. Cover and chill at least 2 hours for it to thicken and for the flavors to blend.
If desired, sprinkle with the pepitas before serving.

Notes

Storage: Store the pudding, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Sweetener Options: You can use an equal amount of almost any sweetener you prefer in place of the maple syrup. For example, agave nectar, brownie rice syrup, coconut sugar, brown sugar, or granulated sugar.
