A few weeks ago I experienced a ‘lightbulb’ moment whilst the kids were eating their tea.  Or perhaps I should correct that lest you should think that my kids are angel’s and are always well-behaved!  …Whilst the kids were pushing food around their plates complaining that they were “too tired to eat”, or “just needed to nip to the toilet.”

As I zoned out from the usual moaning and messing around at the table I realised that I had a recipe idea forming in my head!  Not a particularly spectacular, jaw dropping one I admit, but one that I could knock up right there and then and that may speed up the process of getting the main meal eaten!

So here it is…my super quick chocolate pudding which I have to say, did the trick in getting the main course eaten, whilst also serving as a vehicle for calcium (of which, my loyal readers will know, is a daily challenge for me since my daughter is off dairy and isn’t a big fan of kale!).

I hope your children (and the grown ups in the house) like this as much as we did! It now regularly gets ‘conjured’ up to speed along the eating process!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Birds Custard Powder or 2 tbsp gluten-free cornflour
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup - honey or rice syrup (go for as little as you can get away with!)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder - make sure it is gluten-free!. I use Bourneville or Tesco own brand
  • Half pint dairy-free milk. I use Blue Diamond Almond Breeze - unsweetened
  • Pinch rock or sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Place the custard powder (or cornflour) in a saucepan along with the sweetener of choice, cocoa and salt and stir to combine.
  • Add a few tablespoons of milk and mix until you have a smooth paste
  • Add the remaining milk and put over a medium heat whisking all the time until thickened
  • Serve warm or cold (with fruit if you are being a 'meany mummy' like me!)

    Will definitely have to try this one – anything quick and chocolatey will go down well in our house! I’m much meaner than you – our standard pudding is plain greek yoghurt with fruit added (maybe honey if they’re lucky!!) #blogclub

Welcome!

Hi. I'm Vicki Montague, scientist and mum to 'Roo' (16) and 'Sunshine' (14). I'm a freelance recipe developer specialising in 'free from' food and spend many hours in my kitchen experimenting to create exciting healthy recipes that are all gluten-free & mainly dairy-free. In July 2016 I launched the world's first wholegrain, gluten-free and rice-free flour blends. In May 2018 I launched my first online programme to help people adapt to a gluten free life. I can be found at food festivals giving cookery demos and I love nothing more than teaching people how to cook and lead a positive wholesome life. Find out more about my story...
