Potted plant pudding

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Easy ways to make kids happy|Recipes and Food

We had a little friend over for dinner the other night and I was looking for something interesting to serve for dessert. I found something I liked over at Martha Stewart website.

I’m actually on another sugar fast (too much holiday munching!) so I wanted to make something that I wouldn’t feel bad about missing. The answer: chocolate pudding. :)

I cooked up a package of chocolate pudding (the kind you make on the stove with milk) and put it in small glasses. After the pudding set I sprinkled some crushed chocolate cookie crumbs over it and topped with a sprig of mint from our garden. Pretty, isn’t it?

The girls loved it. I think this one is a keeper.

So cute! I love the presentation. Fun! I have a chocolate/avocado pudding recipe my boys love. I will definitely present it this way next time.

Mmm they look delicious! I think I’ll have to try a dairy-free version!

Here is a great recipe for pudding with regular ingredients that you probably already have in your house, if you want to skip the box.

One note: leave out the water and just mix the cornstarch into the sugar before adding the milk or milk substitute (cold). I know the recipe is for soy milk, but it works just fine with regular milk as well.

[…] was looking through my own archives for March Break treats to make and I remembered this potted plant pudding (it was a total winner) and this recipe for chocolate toffee squares. I may even pull out this meal […]

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
