Chocolate Coconut Pudding 

Adapted from Paleo Comfort Foods

Ingredients:

• 1/3 c. raw local honey 
• 1/4 cup arrowroot powder 
• 3 tbsp. good quality cocoa powder
• 1 can full-fat coconut milk
• 4 oz good quality dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces (*make sure it's dairy free such as Enjoy Life Brand)
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract 
• 2 large egg yolks

Directions:

In a bowl, whisk together arrowroot powder, cocoa, vanilla and 1/4 cup coconut milk until smooth. In a small saucepan, combine the honey and the remaining coconut milk over medium heat and cook until until it comes to a low simmer.  Add in dark chocolate and stir constantly until chocolate is smooth and completely melted.  Add in the cocoa mixture and whisk continuously until smooth.  In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks to break them apart, stir in a little of the coconut milk mixture, then pour it all into the saucepan.  Return to a low boil, whisking constantly until mixture coats the back of a spoon.  Pour into ramekins and place plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a "skin" from forming.  Chill in the refrigerator and serve cold.  I like to garnish these with a little shaved dark chocolate.  Dig in and enjoy.
