Comments on: Homemade Dairy-Free Chocolate Pudding (Plastic-Free too!) http://myplasticfreelife.com/2010/04/homemade-diary-free-chocolate-pudding-plastic-free-too/ Think we can't live without plastic? Think again. In 2007 I committed to stop buying any new plastic & I've almost succeeded! Won't you join me? Let's see what plastic-free looks like in 2012... for the health of our bodies, our oceans, our planet. ~Beth Terry Fri, 17 May 2013 22:46:06 +0000 hourly 1 By: Beth Terry http://myplasticfreelife.com/2010/04/homemade-diary-free-chocolate-pudding-plastic-free-too/comment-page-1/#comment-34706 Beth Terry Fri, 20 May 2011 02:31:52 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/?p=2040#comment-34706 No you didn’t do anything wrong. We all have different taste buds. I prefer things less sweet than some people do, probably.

I doubled the chocolate and the sweetener. I also used arrowroot and had to double that as well. I used about 1 TB vanilla. The end result was delicious though. I guess I like my chocolate pudding dark and sweet. :)

Thank you for the recipe though. I had to idea where to start a dairy free pudding.

I was advised to use potato starch instead. So maybe it’s just a North American staple, I wonder?

I’m used to agava – so the honey is a bit much for me – think I’ll use the agava next time. It thought I was gonna be stirring forever….then it just turned into pudding!
Thank you so much and best to you and your cause – every person makes a difference.

Two things I thought you might be interested in:
You can make your own vanilla extract (no plastic top :):
1 vanilla bean – cut the length and “rolled” inside out, in a glass jar + 3/4 C. vodka.
Keep out of heat and light, shake weekly – start using in 2-3 mo’s.

People had mentioned “avocados” – thought I’d share my all time FAV recipe with you, it’s from “The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook; p. 349)

Avocado Fig Fudgesicles – we just call it chocolate ice cream @ our house (no dairy allowed :) – can also be used as pudding when avocados are in season.

1 ripe avocado – pitted and skin removed
4 fresh black mission figs
4 medjool dates – pits removed
2-4 TBSP organic cocoa powder
water for blending

1. Place all ingredients (except water) into a food processor (or Vita Mix if your super lucky :)
2. Add water as needed (I usually use about 1 cup)
3. Blend 1-2 mins or until very smooth & creamy.
4. Place into dish (popsicle molds didn’t work for us). Freeze 6-8 hrs or overnight.
Recipe lends well to doubling.
& is super fantastic with almond butter added just before eating.

We’ve served this to guests who don’t care for whole foods and they loved it so much – they didn’t want to hear what was REALLY in it. Even the kids loved it.

Peace be the journey <3

I’ve actually never seen corn starch here in Sweden.

I remembered this recipe when thinking about what I should bake for a Fairtrade Focus baking challenge. I don’t think it’ll be my admission (thinking about a chocolately cake with a slight aroma of coffee actually) but this definitely seems tasty. I’m soaking hazelnuts right now, thought I’d use hazelnut milk. :)

How do I know it’s safe? (Admission: I know almost nothing about this subject.)

This post brought a couple of questions to mind triggered by the soy milk maker concept, and I note that community discussion board is not currently running.

Yogurt: Has anyone found a 1 or 2 quart yogurt maker with a non-plastic inner container? I know the unit itself will be plastic, but the makers that produce little 8 oz portions have glass jars. I can’t tell, but I think the large yogurt makers have plastic containers. I wonder if I could use it and just replace the plastic container with a glass mason jar?

Coffee: I’m looking for recommendations for an electric coffeemaker that does not have a plastic where it counts (heating the water and dripping the coffee).

Thanks!

It comes in a cardboard box with a metal spout covered by paper (similar to a box of salt). We always keep some in the house for cooking and emergencies. It tastes okay, so long as it’s refrigerated overnight in a glass container before drinking.
