I mentioned before that I would tell you how to make a CHOCOLATE PUDDING with the soy milk that may be languishing in the refrigerator. Tonight was the night.
Ingredients for Pudding
1/3 cup — cocoa powder
1/2 cup — organic sugar
1/4 tsp — salt
1/4 cup — organic cornstarch (increase to 1/3 cup if making a pie, so it will set up)
3 cups — soy milk
1 1/2 tsp — vanilla
2 tblsp. — vegan butter substitute (optional)
Method for Pudding
In a sturdy pot, add one-third cup of cocoa powder, one-half cup of organic sugar, a quarter teaspoon salt, and a quarter cup of organic cornstarch.
Whisk in three cups soy milk and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for ten minutes. Whisk occasionally while heating.
Add one and a half teaspoon of vanilla. If you want it to taste richer, add some plant-based margarine like organic Earth Balance. Mix it all together.
Pour into eight glass pudding cups — or just in a bowl to scoop out of. Top with plant-based whipped topping right before serving. It tends to collapse, so don't let it sit. Or whip up some tofu whipped cream. Read on about how to make it.
