Here's one from the Vegetarian Times, but it wasn't actually the one I was searching for. I'll post that one here in a second once I track it down. I've never tried either of them, but I flagged them thinking I would one day.

Mayan Spiced Chocolate Pudding

1 can coconut milk (Don't use the stuff that is separated. The pudding will be a disaster if you do, I promise.)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 3 ounce bar dark chocolate, finely chopped

1. Whisk together 1/4 cup coconut milk and cornstarch in small bowl. Set aside.
2. Combine remaining coconut milk, sugar, cinnamon, chili powder, and salt in saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk 1/4 cup hot mixture into cornstarch mixture to form slurry.
3. Whisk slurry into hot mixture and cook 3 minutes or until thickened, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate and vanilla.
4. Transfer to metal bowl and set in larger bowl filled with ice and water. (I just put it in the frig.) Serve sprinkled with pinch of chili powder.

Oh, I was looking here: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/search_recipes/?keywords=pudding&vegan=on

Which has a few yummy-looking options, and I should have been searching for Mousse:

Live Chocolate Mousse
Ingredient List
Serves 4

3 Hass avocados (2 cups mashed)
1/4 cup plus 3 Tbs. raw agave nectar
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbs. raw cocoa powder
3 Tbs. raw almond butter
1 tsp. lemon juice
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch ground nutmeg or cardamom
1/2 tsp. flavored extract such as mint, cherry, orange, almond, hazelnut, or coffee, optional
Directions
Purée all ingredients in food processor 3 to 4 minutes, or until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Transfer to bowls, and serve immediately.

I guess neither of those are low-fat. Well, here's another one that fits that bill:

Chocolate Tapioca Pudding
In this recipe, granulated tapioca thickens chocolate soymilk into a luscious pudding without the addition of flour or eggs. Granulated tapioca cooks up smaller and smoother than pearl tapioca, so the pudding may just win over avowed tapioca pudding haters; this recipe converted VT recipe tester Fiona Kennedy.

Ingredient List
Serves 8

1 qt. chocolate soymilk
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 cup quick-cooking granulated tapioca, such as Let’s Do…Organic
2/3 cup gluten-free vegan chocolate chips, such as Enjoy Life
Directions
Bring soymilk and salt to a simmer in medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in tapioca, and reduce heat to low. Cook at a low simmer 20 to 25 minutes, or until tapioca is transparent and pudding begins to thicken. Remove from heat, and stir in chocolate chips until melted. Cool completely before serving.
