Dairy Free Chocolate Pudding

This pudding is one that would taste amazing with raspberry sauce and some chopped nuts on top.

It's really quick and easy to make and is dairy free, gluten free, and very in low sugar. This is from the website ~ The Nourishing Gourmet

~ Chocolate Pudding ~

1/3 c. Arrowroot Power or Cornstarch
1/3 c. Cocoa Powder
dash of salt
1/3-2/3 c. agave syrup, maple sugar, or honey to taste ( I use less when using agave. You can play around with using Truvia which requires a scant 1/4 c.)
4 c. Coconut Milk ( you can also use other dairy or dairy free milks that you like)
1 tsp. Vanilla extract

1 ~ In a large size sauce (2.5 - 3 qt) pan whisk together the arrowroot, cocoa powder, and salt. Make sure there is no lumps.

2 ~ Add 1 cup of milk and sweetener and mix until thoroughly mixed with no clumps.
Stir in the rest of the milk and heat on medium heat, stirring continuously. Heat until the mixture until it starts to thicken. Simmer for no longer than one minute.

3 ~ Take it off the heat and add in the vanilla. Pour into desired containers and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours to cool and set. after it is cooled cover with plastic wrap.

A Mocha variety - Replace 1 c. milk for strong coffee. Add about 1-2 Tablespoons of very finely ground coffee beans to the dry mixture.
