Chocolate Or Carob Pudding (Vegan, Light)

1. 1

   Blend carob or cocoa powder with cornstarch in saucepan by mashing them together with a fork to flatten any small lumps.

2. 2

   Add small amounts of almond milk gradually, blending well after each addition.

3. 3

   Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently. You can start at a higher heat for the first one or two minutes, but keep stirring and lower the heat so as not to scorch the pudding at the bottom.

4. 4

   You can add the vanilla if using, at this point.

5. 5

   Bring to a boil, lower heat, and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. You may add your sweetener of choice now, or after pudding is cooked.

6. 6

   Add butter or coconut oil, if using, and stir to melt and blend. (I prefer to add virgin coconut oil at this point so that it doesn't cook).

7. 7

   Chill or serve warm.
