What do you do when you are hungry for chocolate pudding and there are no mixes in the house? You turn to Google of course! We scanned through a few recipes and found this one .
It was a recipe for a crowd though and although the Geek household feels more crowded with everyone home on summer vacation, I did not think we needed that much. I cut the recipe down by a third and only tweaked it a little.
Chocolate Pudding for a Geek
1/4 c. cocoa powder
1/2 c. sugar
pinch salt (at least 1/4 teaspoon)
1/6 c. cornstarch (we used the 1/3 cup, guesstimated about half full and then threw in a pinch more.)
2 c. rice milk (we used Trader Joe's brand)
1 tsp vanilla extract (I never measure this I just throw it in.)
a small chunk of Giardhellis unsweetened chocolate (maybe 1/4 ounce)
Combine all ingredients except vanilla in a large pot, until blended thoroughly. Heat over medium-high heat until it comes to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, stir in chocolate chunk and vanilla. Pour into serving bowls and refrigerate. Makes six small servings.
