Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Gluten-Free & Soy-Free Chocolate Pudding

posted on August 9, 2010 by

For this chocolate pudding, I pretty much merged two recipes I found online: a recipe for Homemade Vanilla Pudding that I found on allrecipes.com and Tyler Florence’s recipe for Chocolate Pudding which I found on FoodNetwork.com.  I then made my dairy-free substitutions and finished with MimicCreme Healthy Top Whipped Cream! :-D

Ingredients

2 cups Milk (I used MimicCreme, the Sweetened version).

1/2 cup White Sugar (I used 1/3 cup of Stevia Extract In The Raw, which is a cup-for-cup sugar replacement, but I have found that using a little less suits my taste better).

1/3 cup Cocoa Powder

3 Tbs. Cornstarch (I used Arrowroot).

1/4 tsp. Salt (I used Celtic Sea Salt by Eden Foods.  This is an unrefined sea salt which still contains many natural trace minerals.  However, it does not contain any Iodine).

2 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1 Tbs. Butter (I used Dairy-Free Earth Balance)

Directions

  • In medium saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 1/2 cups of the MimicCreme until bubbles form at edges.
  • In a separate bowl, combine sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch (or arrowroot), salt and remaining 1/2 cup of MimicCreme.  Whisk until smooth.
  • Pour into hot MimicCreme mixture, a little at a time, stirring to dissolve.
  • Continue to cook and stir until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.  Do not boil.
  • Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and dairy-free butter substitute.
  • Pour into serving dishes.  (To prevent a skin from forming on the pudding, I pour the warm pudding into one medium-sized glass bowl then cover with plastic wrap, having the plastic wrap touch the surface of the pudding).
  • Chill before serving.

    Thanks for the shout-outs :)

    This pudding, though, wow. It looks absolutely picture-perfect, if you will. I've got to find Mimicreme, but I wonder if, in the meantime, it would work well with coconut milk. Plus, the 'whipped cream' is incredible. It's fabulous that this recipe worked so well, even with your substitutions! Well done!

      You're quite welcome Jenn (and likewise my friend)!

      I *think* the pudding would probably turn out best with canned coconut milk (vs. So Delicious). I have discovered this several times by accident when I read a blogger's recipe that calls for coconut milk and I use So Delicious (only to have the recipe flop and I go back and read that the blogger actually used canned coconut milk). I think they are completely different products.

      I don't use the canned coconut milk because I don't care for the taste of coconut (this also keeps me from using coconut oil). I do like coconut flour and the So Delicious coconut products though (if that helps any other non-coconut fans out there)! ;-)

    Heidi,

    This looks great! I was so inspired, I went to Amazon to pick up some Mimicreme. I'm going to give dairy free a go for a month and see if I notice any difference.

    Am I weird that I actually like the "skin" on the top of the pudding? I eat it first!

    • http://adventuresofaglutenfreemom.com Adventuresgfmom

      Erin,

      If you're weird, then so am I (well, we already established that I think, LOL!), I like the skin too! Hope you like the MimicCreme as much as I do, I am inching towards going dairy-free as well, but I decided to put it off until I get my iron under control. Calcium is a good iron inhibitor, so I am sticking with my Greek yogurt for a while (I am losing so many other foods b/c of my high iron, I don't want to add more)! xo

    Thanks for sharing the link love – and introducing me to Jenn's cool new site. I so wish I had thought of that first :) This recipe looks delish! I would love to spoon into some of that! Thanks Heidixo

      Maggie, Can you connect to my FB page from the link in this post? I haven't heard back from FB support yet as to why you can't see my page on FB. BTW, this was the pudding I dedicated to you last night, LOL! xo

      • http://www.sheletthemeatcake.com Maggie

        Thanks Heidi – The link from this page takes me to my homepage. And the link from your F and T for twitter also take me to your homepage. What I need to figure out is if anyone else has this problem. It's so weird. Can you try and invite me again?

        • http://adventuresofaglutenfreemom.com Adventuresgfmom

          Maggie, try again. I apparently had my page restricted to people in the United States (not sure how I managed to do that!). Let me know if if doesn't work and I will keep working on this… and yes, I would like to know if others have had a similar problem. :-D

    Looks really good… like tempting good. I wish I could try it, but the MimicCream is made from nuts. The other slight problem I have with the recipe is the "butter". You said you use earth-ballance dairy free 'butter', however it's flavor is naturally derived from corn… so I can't have it as it does contain corn.

    Besides that though, I'd love to try the recipe some day. Thanks for sharing.

    • http://adventuresofaglutenfreemom.com Adventuresgfmom

      MC:

      Thank you for pointing that out to me (about the Earth Balance). I did not even check the ingredients of the butter (shame on me), I was going strictly off the arrowroot substitution when I listed it as corn-free. A couple corn-free options: Isn't Canoleo corn-free? I also think this would work really well just using Spectrum Shortening in place of the Earth Balance, but then there is still the tree-nut issue to deal with. I will have to keep experimenting, there has to be something!! :-D

      • http://foodallergyfroggie.wordpress.com MC

        Oh, thanks for mentioning the Spectrum Shortening! I wasn't aware of that one. I should be fine with it as it's not in the nut catigory. The Canoleo though, yes is corn free, but it contains flavor derived from dairy. This is something I'll have to keep thinking about in how I can tweak it so I can have it (tweaking and playing with recipes is something I really enjoy doing, hence my blog) in the future. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas!

    How absolutely divine that looks, Heidi! Talk about presentation!

    LOL on the school notes.

    And, bravo, bravo to Jenn for her new site, huh? I think it's awesome!

    Hi Heidi,

    I have a Chocolate Mousse that I think you would enjoy! It has 1 Tblsp of butter in it but it is totally dairy free without it. It also has no added sugar except for what is in the chocolate. It is heavenly! I also just perfected a Dairy Free Chocolate Ice Cream. Mmm- chocolate!

    I just found your blog and am enjoying it!

      Thanks Andrea! Your mousse looks wonderful. Thank you for sharing the recipe, I will have to put it on my list of recipes to try! :-)

    Heidi – Looks so good, so chocolatey, so creamy. I wonder how it is that I've never used MimicCream? I'm going to have to look for it. Thanks a bunch for mentioning my gelato. Chocolate. It's good stuff.

  • Liz

    I looked up MimicCreme, the sweetened version, and it is not corn free as it says that it contains maltodextrin. The unsweetened version is corn free, can you use that instead?

    • http://adventuresofaglutenfreemom.com Adventuresgfmom

      Liz, thanks for pointing that out (this is the second ingredient that I have been caught unaware for hidden corn!). Yes you can use the unsweetened MimicCreme, no problem. If you can give me a few days, I will tinker with the recipe using the unsweetened version to see if any added sweetener will be needed, and I will report back!

      Do you happen to have a good resource for all the hidden sources of corn (we don't have a corn allergy/intolerance, although I would like to add that to my list of grains to begin eliminating in the near future)? :-D

    Hello! Did you find a vanilla extract that was corn-free? Most of them use corn based alcohol. I'm searching for a gluten-free and corn-free vanilla extract. (See here for a list of what has corn in it: http://www.cornallergens.com/list/corn-allergen-l…

    • http://adventuresofaglutenfreemom.com Adventuresgfmom

      Hi Kim!

      I now make my own vanilla extract so it is definitely corn-free! :-D

      Shirley from Gluten Free Easily has a recipe for homemade vanilla extract and you can use whatever alcohol you want. I made some recently with Ciroc Vodka which is distilled from grapes. You can read my post about it here.

      • http://www.kimantieau.com/ Kim

        Fabulous! I'll try that. I just found out xanthan gum is corn-based. I can't believe I never knew that. I love the Food for Life gluten-free rice tortillas, one of the few processed foods I eat. They said their supplier guarantees there is no corn protein or allergens. But I think I'm going to have to figure out a way to make my own "bread" products, gluten-free, dairy-free, corn-free, and nightshade-free. Sheesh. Thanks!

    I'm allergic to soy as well as coeliac and am in Australia! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I just need to find some decent soy free chocolate!
