Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Chocolate Pudding and Pie Filling

Jazzy only likes the boxed pudding mix turned into ice cream or mousse, not as actual pudding. This homemade chocolate pudding is so rich and thick and wonderful that Jazzy just couldn't get enough.  My girls and I love this pudding so much that a single batch is just too small. Below the recipe, I posted the amounts if you want to triple this recipe like we do.

Chocolate Pudding and Pie Filling

2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3 tbsp corn starch
1/4 tsp salt
1 2/3 cups soy milk
2 tbsp dairy free margarine
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4-1/2 cup safe chocolate chips, optional

Whisk together the sugar, cocoa, corn starch and salt in a large saucepan. Add the soy milk and whisk until thoroughly combined. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a slow boil then stir constantly for 1 more minute until thickened. Remove the saucepan from the heat then stir in the margarine, vanilla and chocolate chips. Serve warm or chilled.
*  To use as a pie filling, fill the pie shell then chill until cool.
