Chocolate Pudding

This is probably the most introduced recipe for newbies to raw food. Why? Because it is absolutely delicious, simple to make, and has surprising ingredients.

Blend and serve on a nice plate or bowl. The pudding in the picture shown here is topped with home-dehydrated pineapple, coconut flakes, and cacao nibs.

You can play with this recipe a lot,  adding fruit such as plums, and/or sprinkling coconut flakes, nuts, raspberries, shredded almonds, cacao nibs, fresh mint, or whatever takes your fancy. This is just one recipe. I personally add much less cacao and use mesquite instead of carob powder, which is essentially white carob. If you use a full cup of cacao powder it will be way too rich. Play around with different ingredients (maca, lucuma, coconut butter, etc.)  to find your ideal chocolate pudding. It’s really nice if you add a few frozen berries into the mix. Yummm.

Warning: high fat and sugar content (good fats and sugars, but fats and sugars none the less!)

Yes, as you have probably figured out by now from the few photos I have taken, I don’t actually own many dishes…
