We had a real treat today. John Wright, Owner of Bee Wild, made us one of his favorite vegan dishes, Chocolate Pudding. Texture is provided by the superfood, avocado. Avocados contain potassium, folate, Vitamin E, and other good nutrients. With raw cocoa powder and honey, this recipe is rich in anti-oxidants. Eating Vegan Chocolate Pudding is a delicious way to increase the nutritional value of your food.
Vegan Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients
- 2 medium avocados – ripe
- 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
- 3 Tbsp raw honey
- 1 Tsp vanilla extract
- A few drops of structured water or almond milk
Instructions
- Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit and scoop the avocado meat out of the shell and into a food processor.
- Using your spoon or spatula, mash the avocado halves slightly to make the blending process easier.
- Add in the cacao powder, honey, and vanilla to the food processor and blend.
- You may need to stop the food processor a few times to scrape down the sides and make sure there aren’t any chunks of avocado that still need blending.
- You can also add a couple of tablespoons of structured water or almond milk, if the pudding is too thick for your tastes. If you do this, process the pudding for a few seconds and check the thickness again.
- Taste the pudding to see if you want to make any adjustments. I like my pudding not too sweet and very chocolate-y. You might want to adjust some of these measurements to your preferences.
- Serve in small bowls or little cups and be sure to share with friends!
Notes
The Vegan Chocolate Pudding will keep well for several days in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
