Mexican Chocolate Pudding


Oh yeah... creamy delicious goodness!!!!
Make this!!!!
I just made a second batch... cause I had to!!!
All the adults were like kids clanking the side of our bowls and licking them clean.

Do not fear the almond milk... I am the only one who knew it was in there, no one knew it wasn't made with regular milk.

THIS IS ONE OF THE RICHEST CREAMIEST YUMMIEST (I won't say OMG... even though I want to) DISHES EVER...

It is rich like dark chocolate and the hint of cinnamon is Divine.
My mother said that she would like pecans instead of almonds (what ever floats your boat)




(previously stated: First let me say...
I have not made this yet, but I am too excited to wait... I just had to post it!!!
Why, you may ask.

This recipe calls for almond milk, not cow's milk!!!
A little FYI TMI..
I am lactose intolerant.... I can tolerate a little butter or cheese... but not too much, or
my body can't digest it.
I do try to break the rules for ice cream and yogurt, but as I have gotten older, I just can't...sad.)



So, I was reading Gourmet: The Magazine of Good Living, that I stole from my mother...
and there it was!!!!


So here is...
Mexican Chocolate Pudding

1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 c plain unsweetened almond milk
1 1/2 tbsp butter, cut into bits
1/2 tsp vanilla

top with: lightly sweetened whipped cream(not me) and toasted slivered almonds

Whisk together brown sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp salt in a heavy saucepan, then whisk in almond milk.  
Bring to boil over medium heat, whisking ofter, then boil, whisking for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and whisk in butter and vanilla.
Chill in bowl, covered with buttered waxpaper (?ok I will try it) until cold, or at least 1 1/2 hours.


the article did say that there are more almond milk recipes on their website, 
(what ever.... use all of the milk to make more of this!!!!)

ps... I had to make one batch with vanilla almond milk... so I backed off of the vanilla a smudge... just as yummy so don't freak out if you can't find the unsweetened.
