Chocolate (or Vanilla) Pudding Recipe

Okay, I promise that I won't only talk about chocolate on this blog, but please indulge me for another moment.

Here's a simple recipe for gluten-free, dairy-free, and corn-free* pudding.

 Chocolate Pudding

1/2 cup sugar

1/3 cup cocoa

3 tbs potato starch

1/4 tsp salt

2 1/2 cups soy milk (I haven't tried rice, almond, or flax milk in this recipe yet)

1 1/2 tsp vanilla*

Mix the sugar, potato starch, cocoa, and salt together.  Blend in milk.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.  Cook 2 or 3 minutes more (you can tell when the consistency is pudding-like).  Remove from heat.  Add vanilla.

Vanilla Pudding

1/3 cup sugar

3 tbs potato starch

1/4 tsp salt

2 1/2 cups soy milk

1 1/2 tsp vanilla*

Follow directions above, but leave the cocoa out.  (I guess that goes without saying, huh?)

*Attention:  Some vanilla may contain gluten or traces of corn, so you'll have to do some research on that.
