Gluten and Dairy Free Chocolate Pudding Mix Recipe

2009 © Teri Lee Gruss

Here’s a very easy make-ahead recipe for Gluten and Dairy Free Chocolate Pudding Mix. Keep a jar on hand for a fast kids-favorite dessert, after-school snack or lunchbox treat. Use your favorite dairy-free milk in the recipe. I used canned gluten-free coconut milk which makes a really rich-tasting pudding.

Place all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to thoroughly blend.To prepare pudding:

In a medium saucepan, add 1 3/4 cups chocolate pudding mix and 4 cups canned gluten-free coconut milk OR your favorite milk substitute. Whisk to dissolve the pudding mix. Heat on medium until the mixture bubbles and begins to boil, whisking constantly to prevent burning. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes until the pudding is smooth and thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and cool before serving.

Makes eight 1/2 cup servings

Mix makes two recipes of pudding, or sixteen 1/2 cup servings.

Reminder: Always make sure your work surfaces, utensils, pans and tools are free of gluten. Always read product labels. Manufacturers can change product formulations without notice. When in doubt, do not buy or use a product before contacting the manufacturer for verification that the product is free of gluten.
