OLD-FASHIONED CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the graham crumbs and sugar. Drizzle in the oil or melted margarine. Use a spoon to blend the mixture thoroughly to moisten the crumbs, then drizzle in the soy milk and stir again to form a crumbly dough.
• Pour the crumbs into the pie plate. Press crumbs into the sides of the plate first, then work your way down to the bottom. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until firm. Let the crust cool before filling.
• In a small (2-quart) saucepan off the heat, combine 1 cup of the almond milk and the cornstarch. Use a fork to whisk until the cornstarch is good and dissolved. Whisk in the remaining almond milk, the sugar, cocoa powder and salt. It's O.K. if the cocoa is a bit clumpy at first; it will dissolve eventually.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking occasionally. Keep a close eye because once boiling, you want to lower the heat and bring it to a slow rolling boil. Whisk consistently until the mixture is thickened, which should be about 7 minutes.
• Add the chocolate chips and mix to melt. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the pudding into the prepared pie shell and let cool for about 15 minutes on the counter, just until it stops steaming like mad. To keep a skin from forming, place a circle of parchment paper over the filling. Refrigerate and let set for at least 3 hours.

CHOCOLATE MILK CREAMY RICE PUDDING MADE THE OLD FASHIONED WAY

Steps:

• Either cut the recipe in half or find a baking dish that holds at least 10 cups ungreased; cooking UNCOVERED is essential.
• Set oven temperature to 275 degrees F.
• Move shelf to low center and keep dish near the front so you can just reach in and stir.
• Stir all the raw ingredients together; the milk will be cold and take awhile to start cooking.
• Cook for 40 minutes, reach in with fork and stir.
• Cook for another 40 minutes, reach in and stir.
• By this time the rice might have started swelling.
• Cook another 35 minutes and stir, the rice should be swollen, sticking together in clumps so stir a lot, mash down with fork, get in bottom edges of baking dish, try to get as many grains separated as you can.
• Cook for another 30 minutes and stir, most of the rice will not have clumped again.
• Fairly early on a skin will form on top, just stir it all back in each time until the last.
• After another 30 minutes, it should be about done so stir once more.
• Some of the rice should be floating near the top and it will look runny.
• Bake another 20 to 30 minutes; I let skin form on the final cooking.
• Remove from oven and set on trivet to cool.
• It's best to wait until it's entirely cooled to room temperature or just slightly warm before digging into it with a spoon; this takes patience.
• If you do it while it's hot, it's very runny and you will get too much creamy and what remains won't be as nice.
• It thickens as it cools.
• Store covered in refrigerator; it will thicken more yet, get sticky, chewy and creamy in spots.
• If it works for you, you can add cinnamon, raisins, or try other ideas.
• I don't know what would happen if you warmed the milk first but I think it wouldn't be the same.
• The cooking time may be up to 1/2 hour more than stated.
