This is really delicious.
Chocolate Pudding
(Yield: 2 2/3 cup about 6 servings)

No one will ever guess it is made without dairy. The total cooking time is less than 10 minutes and the pudding is ready to eat after about 10 minutes of cooling

Ingredients
1/2 cup organic sugar
6 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted if lumpy
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 1/4 cups water, divided
3 tablespoons organic cornstarch
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
(optional) 1 1/2 ounces nondairy semisweet chocolate or bittersweet, finely chopped

Procedure
Combine the sugar, cocoa, and salt in a heavy, medium saucepan. Combine 1/2 cup of the water to the mixture, whisking until mostly dissolved.

Bring the chocolate mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking frequently. Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 1/4 cups more of the water. Cook at a low boil for 2 minutes, whisking occasionally.

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and the remaining 1/2 cup of the water, and stir with a fork until dissolved. Add to the simmering chocolate, whisking constantly and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture boils. After the pudding has boiled about 30 seconds, remove the saucepan from the stove and stir in the vanilla extract. If you are using the chocolate, add it to the hot pudding now, stirring until melted.

Pour the pudding into ramekins or other small cups. Cool to room temperature and enjoy, or refrigerate up to two days.

jog on a cup is 250 mls

smallholder the recipe is nearly guilt free. no fat if made with water. Leave out the extra chocolate at end and make wiht splendour to leave out the sugar. A small portion with fruit is a good treat if you have a sweet tooth like me.

I finally tried making this today. It tasted really good, but I wasn't sure what kind of consistency it should have. Should it set to a solid? Thanks! I had to make a smaller amount than you said so wasn't sure if I did it right.

it does set solid but i often add extra water so it is softer like yoghurt. you can add as much water as you want at the end to get it how you like it.
Glad you enjoyed it.
