This recipe, which is as easy as one, two, three, is great for that late-night sweet tooth because it’s so quick to make. We tried it out with every kind of nondairy milk possible and they all worked, but this was our favorite.

　　

Ingredients

serves 4

　　1/3 cup sugar

　　1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

　　1/4 cup cornstarch

　　Pinch of salt

　　3 cups soymilk

　　

Step 1

Combine the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan and slowly stir in the soymilk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes, or until it comes to a boil. Cook for 1 more minute and remove from the heat. Pour into individual bowls and refrigerate until completely chilled.

In the late 1800s some American social reformers and food companies promoted puddings as health foods, touting their nutritional benefits to invalids and children. If they add college students to that group, I’m all for bringing back that campaign.
