Chocolate Pudding Pie Recipe

Ingredients

Crust:

• 2 cups flour (mixture of whole wheat/white)

• 2 Tbsp organic sugar

• 1/4 cup vanilla soy yogurt

• 1/3 cup water

• 1/4 cup almond meal

• 1 Tbsp flax seed meal

• 1 Tbsp baking powder

• 1 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 cup canola oil

• Extra flour for sprinkling

Pudding:

• 1 black 16 ounces silken tofu

• 1 cup soy milk

• 1 box Dr.Oetker Chocolate Pudding Mix

• 3 Tbsp arrowroot powder

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp cayenne powder

• 1/4 cup dark chocolate bar pieces

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup vanilla or plain soy yogurt

• Organic powdered sugar.


Preparation:

• Make your pudding by combining all the pudding ingredients in a pot on the stove (except the soy yogurt). Heat on med-high, stirring constantly until a bubbly mixture forms.

• Turn heat to low and continue stirring for a few minutes. You should have a nice lumpy thick mixture.

• Transfer the mixture to your blender. Blend on low-medium until all the pudding runs smoothly. Be very careful when blending any heated substance. Vent lid and never aim blender towards your face.

• Transfer the now smooth pudding to a large bowl.

• Fold in the soy yogurt.

• Transfer about 1 1/4 cups in a smaller bowl. This smaller amount is all you will need for your pies. The rest you can store in the fridge for later!

• Place the small container of pudding in the freezer for 5 minutes to cool it off while you prepare your crust dough.

• Combine all your dry crust ingredients in a large bowl. Mix.

• Add in your liquid ingredients and mix until a nice dough is formed. Make sure it is dry enough to roll out-otherwise add a bit more flower.

• Roll out dough-whatever method works for you. I like to split my dough into two pieces and roll out one while I place the other in the freezer to stay firm for a few minutes.


• Roll out as thin as possible on a floured surface. Corn tortilla thickness would be perfect.

• Using a medium sized bowl, cut out pie dough circles. Transfer to a greased baking sheet-carefully.

• Repeat for all your dough.

• Grab your chilled pudding. Spoon about 1 1/2 Tbsp of pudding into each pie circle.

• Fold over circle into a half moon shape. Crimp the edges with a fork.

• Brush outside of pies with a bit of oil/lemon glaze if you wish-optional.

• Bake at 400 degrees for ten minutes. You want them to be golden brown, but not over-done! As they cool they will harden a bit.

• Remove from oven and cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.


*Hope you enjoyed this chocolate pudding pie recipe, now I'd like to tell you about my favorite diet program that uses a lot of the healthy lower GI foods: Isabel de los Rios' 'The Diet Solution Program'.

The Diet Solution Program favours a long term health orientated approach to fat loss, but not offering anyone a quick fix to their weight troubles. It has loads of valuable data and research to support its approach. I personally investigated the program thoroughly and my mum has been using it for a while now. I have to say she got some great results.

The nutrition plan is one of the healthiest we have seen, a strong core focus on vegetables, fruits, vitamin dense foods, lean proteins, select dairy produce and a clear approach to not expecting one diet to work for all body types. So give it a try and let me know how you’re doing.*
