Pudding Plants

We had a weekend celebration and I came across these plants on Friday and thought they would make a fun dessert.  I made a variation to this the recipe instead of pudding and crushed oreos I did pudding and chocolate cake.   While the pudding sets and the chocolate cake is cooled down I just mixed it with a fork to crumble it then sprinkled it over the pudding and chilled it a while longer.  They were too cute with the mint sprigs.
For the pudding I used this recipe.  It was great because it makes a lot of chocolate powder I can keep on hand.   I was able to make it allergy friendly too.  When it was time to prepare add 2/3 cup of powder mixture, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon dairy free margarine, 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 cups of soy milk to the sauce pan stirring constantly till it boils then keep stirring for 1 more minute.  I find when substituting milk with soy milk a little extra cornstarch is needed.  As always enjoy.  Expect to see this pudding again later this week I'm thinking about pudding pops.
