Dairy-Free Chocolate Pudding

I was craving chocolate pudding last week and since we were out of milk, I used coconut milk, which turned out to be a brilliant substitution.  It’s usually something I crave and indulge in when pregnant, but I didn’t have the excuse this time:)  I need a good non-pregnancy excuse for eating indulgent treats- any suggestions?

The recipe I used is the basic one from The Joy of Cooking, the cornstarch version (no eggs in this one either).  I think everything else was the same, except for the switch to coconut milk, which may have actually been an improvement.  Oh, and I used a slightly healthier sweetener.  I never cover the pudding in the fridge either, I know they say to put plastic wrap over it to keep a skin from forming, but the skin is my favorite part!!  Weird, I know…
