Chocolate Coconut Milk Pudding w/ Cardamom

Everyone likes pudding, especially chocolate pudding. This one contains no dairy and has a bit of cardamom to make sure everyone's having fun.It's super easy, super rich and super thick. You can't go wrong w/ this as a dessert in a pinch.



Here is what you need:

1 13.5 oz can coconut milk
1/4 cup corn starch
1/4 cup sugar
2 squares bakers chocolate
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cardamom seeds ground

As I said, this is a real  easy one. Throw this junk in a pot like so:

 

Turn that sucker up to medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Keep simmering for about five or ten minutes. I hate stirring constantly during this portion but you really should to make sure all the corn starch gets broken up. An immersion blender is nice to have here. It can really smooth things out if things get lumpy.

This pudding is really thick. To me, the texture is almost like ice cream, only not as cold obviously. Use half the cornstarch for a more traditional soupy pudding. This stuff is hardly liquid at all.



If you don't like fun, substitute in a teaspoon or so of vanilla instead of the cardamom. If you got a favorite recipe for coconut milk pudding (or any pudding) post it in the comments. I bet it won't be as good as this is though.
