Vegan Chocolate Pudding


Several years ago, I bought the wonderful vegan cookbook ExtraVeganZa. Recently I made Triple Chocolate Kahlua Velvet Pudding. One could easily fool people until believing this was conventional (non-vegan) pudding.

Instead of gelatin, agar agar powder is used. You can generally find it in health food stores. Agar is quite amazing; it turns the pudding into a gelatinous blob, which is then smoothed out in a blender. (I wish I had taken a picture.)

Since the recipe is not available online, I scanned the page and posted it below. Please let me know if it is too difficult to read. I highly recommend ExtraVeganZa, by Laura Matthais. It contains many wonderful recipes utilizing farm fresh produce, healthy ingredients (such as brown rice syrup), edible flowers, and includes several gluten-free dishes.
