These Vegan Coffee Pudding Pots make a great effortless dessert. They’re:
- quick and easy to make
- rich and indulgent
- require just 4 ingredients!
These recipe for these Vegan Coffee Pudding Pots was inspired by a similar recipe I used to make these Chocolate Pudding Pots and these Salted Caramel Pudding Pots.
I love the recipe as, unlike a lot of vegan puddings, it doesn’t require a blender, and doesn’t involve any avocados.
The base is made with cashew milk, which is so naturally rich, sweet and creamy. Oat milk would also work for a nut-free version.
All you need to do is mix together all the ingredients before heating, then heat in a pan until thick and creamy.
Cornflour (cornstarch) acts as a thickening ingredient, and be careful to make sure it has completely dissolved in the milk before heating, as if it’s not properly mixed through you may end up with a lumpy pudding!
I try to stay away from coffee, so I actually used chicory powder. Chicory powder is made from ground chicory root and has a bitter, coffee-like flavour. It also supposedly contains lots of health benefits.
As these Coffee Pudding Pots are refined sugar free, gluten-free, oil-free and easily nut-free, they’re great for giving to guests as they cover a wide range of dietary requirements.
These Vegan Coffee Pudding Pots also work really well made in advance, so they’re a wonderful dessert that can be prepared ahead if you’re entertaining.

Can’t seem to get this to work 🙁 I have been stirring it on low heat for over 20 minutes and nothing! Tried a higher heat and didn’t work, and even tried more corn flour but just doesn’t seem to work for me

As long as it’s thickened a little bit since you started, pouring it into the cups then putting it in the fridge for a few hours will make it firm up.

Can you use arrowroot instead of corn starch?
Rhian Williams
Yes, though the texture will be slightly different!
