Pudding

Based on this recipe by Allrecipes.

This makes enough to fill 4 small pyrex bowls, with a little left over for the cook.

I want to try other flavors at some point. I think using various extracts would do the trick.

Ingredients

• Sugar: 1/3 cup
• Cocoa powder: 1/3 cup
• Cornstarch: 3 Tbsp
• Salt: 1/4 tsp
• Soy milk: 2 1/2 cup
• Vanilla extract: 1 1/2 tsp

Use the good stuff for the cocoa powder! Fake vanilla extract is OK, since the chocolate flavor dominates.

Steps

• Mix dry ingredients in pot using whisk.
• Add a little soy milk and whisk until wet.
• Put over medium heat and slowly add soy milk why whisking.
• Keep whisking until it starts to thicken. It will be obvious!
• Take off heat and spoon into bowls.
• Refrigerate bowls until ready to eat.

I haven’t had issues with skin forming on the pudding like happens with real milk, so techniques like pressing plastic wrap into the pudding surface have been unnecessary.
