IMAGINE FOODS' PUDDING RECIPE:
This recipe works for chocolate, vanilla, or mocha pudding

13/4 cups RICE DREAM Beverage Vanilla or Chocolate depending on desired
flavor (Chocolate or Vanilla works for Mocha style pudding)

2 Tbs.  Maple Syrup

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 Tbs.  agar flakes

1/8 tsp. sea salt

1 Tbs. arrow root powder, dissolved in 4 Tbs.  RICE DREAM

For Mocha variation, add  3 Tbs. grain coffee

garnish,   roasted slivered almonds  (optional)

In a saucepan, over low heat, mix RICE DREAM, maple syrup, vanilla, and
salt  (add grain coffee for mocha pudding).  Whisk in agar flakes and bring
to a simmer over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring regularly.  Whisk in
dissolved arrowroot and cook for 1 minute longer stirring constantly.  Pour
into pudding cups or champagne glasses and refrigerate until well set,
about 1-11/2 hours.  Garnish with slivered almonds.  Yield : 4, 1/2 cup
servings.

Please be advised natural ingredients vary from one batch to another
causing slight differences.  Agar is a rather difficult and unpredictable
ingredient to work with. If your pudding does not set, a tablespoon more
agar is needed.  If it sets too thick and gelatin-like, try blending it
after it is set.  This usually creates the desired texture.
