[Sca-cooks] OOP: Chocolate pudding

[Dan Brewer]

Cornstarch doesn't always like soy milk.  Depending on the brand cornstarch
won't set. Try the same brand of soy with new corn starch to see if I am all
wet.  Then try a different brand. Or it could just be that today you were
not to have thick creamy chocolate pudding.

I would think it had something to do with the cornstarch? Can it go stale
maybe? Just guessing here

  I made myself a treat of chocolate pudding tonight. I always use soy 
milk as I can't have dairy. Here is the recipe (below:) Now, here is 
my question: Why didn't it firm up into pudding? It just stayed like 
soup.... and I measured and everything. It firms up all the other 
times..... It isn't humid here or anything. I can't figure it 
out.... any ideas?
Thanks!
