Chocolate Coconut Pudding

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.

What can be used in place of the corn starch? Thanks

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

Can arrowroot be used instead of cornstarch?

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.

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!
