Dairy Free

3 tablespoons coconut cream concentrate
2 3/4 cups warm water
2/3 cup whole organic sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup corn starch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Melt coconut cream concentrate in warm water. Mix sugar, cocoa powder, corn starch and salt in a 2-quart sauce pan. Gradually add coconut cream and water mixture.

Cook and whisk or stir over medium heat until it boils. Must stir/whisk constantly. Boil one minute.

Remove from heat. Stir in coconut oil and vanilla. Chill thoroughly. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.

Variation: For vanilla pudding, omit cocoa powder and reduce sugar to 1/3 cup. 1/3 cup honey could be substituted for sugar, but add at the end with the coconut oil and vanilla.

Tried for the first time. A little softer than I wanted. May need to cook it with a harder boil than the soft boil I used for 1 min. In addition to the cocoa called for, I added 2 1/2 Tablespoons for Black Cocoa from Frontier Herbs. That added more depth to the chocolate  flavor. I sprinkled pecans and unsweetened coconut (fine) on top. Could still use a bit more depth of flavor but husband was in love with it.

I loved this when my 10-yo sister made it. I had to help her, as it wasn’t thickening properly, but I think it was because she didn’t cook it long enough for it to thicken. It was absolutely delicious though! I’ll be making it in a little while for a quick chocolate dessert for after dinner tonight. 

yum yum!

I made this pudding recently and used arrowroot instead of cornstarch (same amount), honey instead of sugar and carob powder instead of cocoa powder and it turned out delicious! I don’t do dairy, so it was great having pudding again.

Can arrowroot be used instead of cornstarch?

Try tapioca or kuzu root starch. Adjust amounts as needed.
