Mmmmmm chocolate.

Chocolate Pudding

I love this pudding. Let me repeat: I LOVE this pudding. It is so rich and chocolatey and delicious. Some of the ingredients are a little different, but that is what it makes it dairy-free. So all of you with lactose issues get ready to enjoy!! At the bottom of the recipe I will give details on where I found supplies.

Ingredients: 
  • 2 Tbs arrowroot powder
  • 1 can light coconut milk (14 oz)
  • 1/3 cup agave nectar 
  • 2 Tbs & 2 tsp of organic cocoa powder 
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 

Directions: 
  1. Place the arrowroot powder and 1/2 cup of coconut milk in a small bowl - whisk together. 
  2. In a saucepan combine the remaining coconut milk and additional ingredients. Slowly whisk everything together (this takes a few minutes) over medium heat. Then bring the mixture to a light boil. 
  3. After the mixture has come to a boil add the coconut milk and arrowroot powder - stir in quickly and continue to stir until you feel the mixture thicken. 
  4. After the mixture thickens pour into a bowl or individual ramekins - store in the refrigerator to cool. 
  5. After the pudding is chilled - eat and enjoy!

Other information
  • Arrowroot powder - I found this in Whole Foods in the baking section in a small bottle (similar to the size of spice bottles)
  • Coconut milk, agave nectar, cocoa powder - I usually pick both of these up at Trader Joes
  • The recipe - borrowed from "Gluten Free Vegan" by Susan O'Brien
  • The photo - pudding just isn't terribly photogenic... so no picture this time
