Add the almond milk, heavy cream, erythritol, cocoa powder, cinnamon and orange extract to a small saucepan. Set over a medium heat and bring up to a gentle boil. Whisk well to combine, dissolving the cocoa powder. You may add more or less sweetener and orange according to taste.
Reduce the milk mixture to a gentle simmer. Whisk one teaspoon of xanthan gum into the hot milk mixture until smooth and well combined. Continue to whisk in the remaining xanthan gum a little at a time until fully incorporated. The mixture should start to form a thick and creamy consistency. If you would like a thicker, denser pudding you can add more gum.
Divide the chocolate pudding mixture evenly between 4 individual 3-inch ramekins. Shake the pots gently so that they form an even layer of pudding. Transfer the puddings to the fridge for an hour to chill and firm up a little. Serve cold.
