This pudding is delicious and I thank you for posting. My cousins kids are allergic to dairy and also have celiac. They always feel left out because they can't eat most of the desserts at our family dinners, so I'm always looking for home made treats that they can enjoy. I am making them a chocolate peanut butter pie, and am substituting vegan ingredients, so this pudding is very helpful! PS. I did reduce the sweetener a little bit, and used regular sugar and corn syrup combo.

Easy, tasty, and nearly gone (yes, I'm eating it still hot here at the computer!) Could not ask for more in a quick dessert recipe. I used turbinado sugar in lieu of nectar or honey but otherwise stuck to recipe. Thanks for sharing such a delicious dish.

Yum!! This was amazing...so much better than any other chocolate pudding I've ever had! I didn't realize I was out of vanilla extract but I had almond so I used that instead (less than what was called for though). I thought it was great! My BF weirdly thought that it was chocolate raspberry flavored :) I think next time I'll cut back a bit on the agave though because I thought it was a tad too sweet. Thanks for sharing!

Super-easy to make (and I say this as an admittedly terrible cook). Delicious, too. Even my decidedly non-vegan husband loved this pudding. I used plain soy milk and 1/2 cup of regular white sugar, because that's all I had on hand. Looking forward to trying with almond milk and honey next time.

Sorry, we just didn't care for this. I used agave nectar (hadn't used this before), so maybe it was the nectar we didn't care for. Will maybe try again, this time with Splenda or sugar. Thanks for the recipe.
