Smooth Vegan Chocolate Pudding with layered Sweet Peaches

This recipe is very fun to make.
There is something special about eating a smooth velvety cool pudding:)
I have eaten this for breakfast even!
The addition of peaches brings it to a different level.
You really never see peaches and chocolate, but it is a good combo!
If you don't have peaches or you don't like them, try a different fruit
you like.
Anything works for this recipe, even a different flavor of milk.
This recipe makes a good amount, the pan I used was 25 1/2 cm by 16 1/2 cm or
10 in by 6 1/2 inches


Smooth Vegan Chocolate Pudding with layered Sweet Peaches
serves 6 to 8 large portions or 10 to 12 smaller

5 ripe peaches
1 liter milk (I used oat milk, chocolate)
6 Tablespoons potato starch
4 Tablespoons raw sugar( you can leave out if you don't want it too sweet)
3 crisp cookies (I used gluten free)

Small stock pan pour 3/4 of the liter of milk, with the rest pour in small bowl
and mix in starch and sugar, stir until well combined.
On medium heat, heat milk until it is warm to touch and add in starch and sugar mixture.
Stir until thickened 5-7 minutes. Every stove top is different, so stir until thickened.
Remove from heat and put in bowl to cool. It should be room temperature, before assembly.
Wash peaches and slice, remove stone.
Layer the pan with half of the peach slices

Then pour the cooled pudding on top, add the rest of the peaches, and
crumble the cookies with your hands all over the top:)
Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours before serving!

Dr Organic Rose Otto skin lotion, most divine sweet smelling velvety lotion review:)

I love the smell of rose, but there is a lot of fake smelling rose products out there.
So the dilemma is do I even buy rose products at all.
My first thought is the ingredients, they have to be natural, and the scent has to be
100% natural. 
I have tried many 100% natural rose scented lotions, they are either so light 
or the scent disappears within minutes of putting it on.
I don't want to smell of a rose bush, but I would like it to stay a while,
maybe linger on my clothes, would be nice. So I saw this product at a natural health store.
Dr. Organic Rose Otto skin lotion.
I opened the tester, and to my delight, the sweet warm smell of rose came out of the tube.
I was hooked I am going to buy it, my first thought was YES, then NO.
Then reading the ingredients I thought ok I will try it.
I usually am a coconut oil user after my shower, for moisturizer.
I was kind of excited for my first use, I had it waiting by the shower for immediate
use after.
WOW, I love this product, it glided on my skin like butter, it was not to thick or to thin 
it has a perfect absorption into the skin. The smell was soooo divine.
The smell is truly perfect for us rose scent lovers. The scent is a true rose smell.
When you are smelling a rose in the garden,  it is so sweet and velvety you can't 
stop smelling it:) Even lingered on my clothes:)
I used it everyday and the tube lasted a little over a month, which is perfect.
Sorry, I even cut the tube when I was done, I had to get every last drop!!!
