Dairy Free Gluten Free Pudding

Just had awesome chocolate pudding!! Dairy and gluten free!! Very thick... would not know it was dairy free or gluten free. (I used almond breeze unsweetened vanilla almond milk)

Ok so here is the recipe on my "Let's Do Organic Cornstarch" box for chocolate pudding:

Chocolate Pudding - makes about 2 cups

2 cups soymilk, rice milk, almond milk

3 T. cocoa powder

5 T. cornstarch

1/2 c. sugar

1 t. vanilla

combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until pudding is very thick. Pour into individual serving dishes and chill.

Serving suggestions: top with sliced banana, strawberries, other fruit, or shredded coconut.

So my question - I can not find a recipe for vanilla pudding. I tried to convert a recipe to dairy free but it definitely didn't work. Anyone have a recipe they use??? Would love one for butterscotch too... but vanilla is by far my favorite and my husband and I are not much into chocolate. I am sure there is a way to convert recipe above but I just don't know how to go about it... :) I am not an experienced cook and know it would be more than just taking out the cocoa powder. Hmmm... I wonder if I could make almond pudding by adding almond flavoring instead of vanilla.

Actually, simply removing the cocoa powder would do it. At least for the most part. Although you may want a stronger vanilla taste, depending on the strength of the flavoring you're using. Personally, I'd probably also add some coconut oil, but to each his/her own.

This sounds wonderful! Thank You for sharing. For vanilla maybe you can use some type of vanilla bean powder in place of the cocoa? I have no idea what brands are gluten free/dairy free but I know I have seen vanilla powder or vanilla sugar that is just like powdered sugar and ground vanilla beans. Maybe you can make your own? I'm not sure...Let us know if you come up with anything. I don't know what you could do for butterscotch flavor.

thank you guys!! :) I should just try it and see what happens. In my gluten free cook book she talked about how picky it was to convert recipes... had to have the correct amount of dry and wet... but probably with this it wont be a big deal.

I found this recipe for vanilla powder: Open Original Shared Link

Takes a few weeks to get the flavor but it might be worth it and if it doesn't work in this recipe you could use it for other things :)

There's also trying banana for a non-chocolate flavor. mark bittmas has a silken tofu banana recipe in food matters that looks interesting.

For those who may not know, vanilla powder is not used like cocoa powder. It is used just like vanilla extract. That is, in small amounts, as flavoring only. Some recipes cannot tolerate the water or alcohol in the liquid extract, and there can be other factors such as color to consider.

While vanilla pudding doesn't require powdered or ground vanilla, using a high quality vanilla in recipes really can make a big difference.

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      When I was diagnosed in 2016, I was told I had probably had it at least 30 years. I also have lactose intolerance and IBS, so I'm not certain which symptoms were which in the early stages. I have osteopenia because of it. I have issues with inflammation. I was only diagnosed with the IGA blood test. But there was such a marked difference when I went very...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
