I was craving chocolate pudding last week and since we never have milk around, I used coconut milk, which turned out to be a brilliant substitution. Chocolate pudding is one of those things I indulge in when pregnant. Does anyone else use pregnancy as an excuse to eat naughty things you'd be craving even if you weren't pregnant... ?
The recipe I used is the basic one from The Joy of Cooking, the cornstarch version (no eggs in this one either). I think everything else was the same, except for the switch to coconut milk, which I think may have actually been an improvement. I'm nuts about coconut milk. I never cover the pudding in the fridge either, I know they say to put plastic wrap over the pudding to keep a skin from forming, but the skin is my favorite part!!
