Awesome Vegan Chocolate Pudding

One of my sons is vegan so I like to experiment cooking different kinds of dishes that fits my family's differing diet philosophies. This was was declared delicious by the family.

Chocolate Pudding

One can coconut milk
 4 oz of milk free dark chocolate (more or less depending on how much chocolate you want)
Some sort of sweetener (organic cane sugar / honey is preferred by vegan son, mom prefers stevia)
Dash of cayenne pepper
Spoon of vanilla extract or if you have $$ vanilla bean seeds
Optional: cinnamon to taste

Melt the chocolate into the coconut milk over low heat. Take off heat, no need to boil to thicken, the coconut milk is pretty thick already.  Add the remaining ingredients and portion out into serving bowls.

It's pretty rich and can be cut with whipping cream for a non vegan crowd.
