Chocolate Custard

Ingredients:
7 tbsp tapioca flour
600ml rice milk
5 tbsp sugar (substitute for other sweetners as desired e.g. rice malt syrup)
vanilla bean (don't use the imitation stuff as it has a lot of additives)
1 tbsp raw cocoa (add less if you don't want it to be as strong)

Method:
1.Add dry ingredients to a microwave safe bowl.
2. Add a small amount of milk (50ml) and whisk in dry ingredients until there are no lumps.
3. Add remainder of milk and vanilla.
4. Whisk well.
5. Cook in a microwave in 2 minute batches until it has reached the desired consistency. Keep a close eye on it as when it thickens it may bubble over.

You can do this on the stove top if you prefer; however just remember to constantly whisk it.

Note: If you make vanilla custard (just leave out the cocoa), it will be off-white in colour bust still taste the same (no eggs to make it yellow).
