Creamy, sweet & indulgently rich White Chocolate Peppermint Pudding. Quick & easy to make, seriously impressive, & so festive!
Indulgently rich, creamy, sweet White Chocolate Peppermint Pudding!
These delish puddings are delicious and so easy to make, although they do require a tiny amount of advance planning due to the 2-3 hour chill time. But don't worry. You can do it. For all that is creamy, thick, sweet, and wonderful, you really owe it to yourself!
Dollop on some vegan whipped cream and top with some crushed candy canes and a Vegan White Chocolate Candy Cane Truffle. These little extras take it from everyday pudding to an impressive dinner party dessert. The crunch of the candy cane against the smooth, creamy pudding is just lovely!

Recipe
White Chocolate Peppermint Pudding
Author:Ingredients
- 7 tablespoons (105 grams) cocoa butter , melted (measured after melting) if not using a scale
- ½ cup (100 grams) white or cane sugar
- 1 x 13.5oz (398-400mls) can full fat coconut milk , not light coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup (185 grams) canned chickpeas , rinsed
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ to 1 teaspoon peppermint extract , to taste
For garnish (optional)
- dairy-free cream
- White Chocolate Candy Cane Truffles
- crushed candy canes
INSTRUCTIONS
- After measuring the cocoa butter, add it to a small pan along with the sugar, coconut milk, and salt. Heat over a very gentle heat until completely liquid and you can no longer see any sugar granules.
- Pour into a blender, add the chickpeas and vanilla, and blend until completely smooth. I use the smoothie setting on my Blendtec but if you don’t have that start low and work up to high over the course of a minute
- Once completely smooth, add peppermint extract to taste, and give it a short blitz to combine.
- Pour into serving glasses and refrigerate until it's pudding consistency, at least 2 -3 hours, but up to 3 – 4 days is ok.

Can you substitute anything for cocoa butter.
A Virtual Vegan says
No. There is nothing else that will work in this recipe.

Hi, and merry Christmas!
It would be very helpful if you were to give the number of servings and the serving size in case it's necessary to double the recipe. I made the strawberry - graham cracker ice box cake and should have doubled the amount of the coconut whipped cream as the amount from one can of coconut milk barely covered the 3 layers.
I would like to suggest that the font for the reply messages be changed to a larger and darker font as it is very difficult for me, and possibly others, to see what is being typed.
Thank you and congratulations for giving this site your full time attention after today!
Happy New Year!

The number of servings are clearly stated on all of my recipes (at the top of the recipe card by the title).
As for a strawberry graham cracker ice box cake - That isn't even my recipe...
Thank you for the suggestion about the font. We will look into it.
Merry Christmas!
