Wow! I can make stiff pudding! (I never thought I could) I realised (by accident) that with a little more heat you save alot of time... Mine went thick in the pot after 5 mins of cooking, and was stiff after maybe 20 mins in the fridge. (I think this made it a bit denser though) I served it in coffee glasses with a little chocolate syrup on top. The portions were a bit small -but good! Simple, yet impresses the guests.

I have to admit, I had misgivings about trying this, as I had previously attempted oatmeal with soymilk (my first ever litre!) and it came out bitter. However. This is quite possibly one of the best puddings I've ever made (in the american sense, not as dessert). It didn't turn out bland like some do when you use a non-fat liquid. The espresso gives it amazing flavor! I only used 4 tbsp sugar because 5 seemed like a little much--I think it would have been. 4 is perfect for me. Plus, I was rummaging around the cabinets and broke off 2 tiny pieces of dark chocolate and threw those in too. I'm sure I deveganized it that way, but it tastes great. As I have limited kitchen supplies, I just put the pudding in my jumbo muffin tins (which looks really odd sitting in the fridge). It didn't really "mold" into a shape, but that's ok, because none of that matters once you stick this delicious concoction in your mouth. Thank you so MUCH for posting this!

This was ridiculously easy to make, as well as delicious. I followed the recipe more or less exactly, save for adding a negligible extra bit of coffee and cut the sugar by half a tablespoon. As a long-time vegan, it's been years since I've had anything remotely pudding-esque, and this really hit the spot.

I am a young aspiring chef from Montreal. I'm a student cook and I work as a barista (fun times!!!) and I have seriously busy days that lasts forever, so now i love quick fix recipes that takes no time to whip up at 11 pm when i get home.
Well i was vegan, now I am back to an lacto-ovo diet for the sake of my class. I have to taste meat at school, and I'm ok with that. But at home, only farmer eggs, happy cow milk that comes from small farms.... and yummy honey from my hometown, Percé, Quebec.
