Happiest Moment

Today, I made chocolate pudding.  You see, my daughter has a very nasty stomach bug and needs to take probiotics, which come in small packets.  Due to the explosive nature of her illness, we could not go out and buy pudding.  This recipe did the trick.  I added the probiotics to a spoonful of pudding,  and the medicine went right down.  

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 1/2 cups soy milk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

1. In small bowl, combine cornstarch and water to form a paste.
2. In large saucepan over medium heat, stir together soy milk, vanilla, sugar, cocoa and cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Continue to cook and stir until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Pudding will continue to thicken as it cools. Allow to cool five minutes, then chill in refrigerator until completely cool.

Yea!  Vegan pudding with the right consistency!
