Vegan Mock Chocolate Pudding

 posted: May 02, 2018.

I was in the mood for ‘dessert’, so I tried this sugar-free, dairy-free, vegan chocolate ‘pudding’ today.

Ingredients:

1/2 C dates w/o seeds

1t vanilla

3 ripe mashed avocados

3/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 C water

Process dates and vanilla until smooth

Add avocados and cocoa powder, processing until creamy, scraping down sides to thoroughly mix

Add water and process until smooth

NOTES: I found this to be a little to rich with chocolate, a touch bitter and in need of sweetness. I added about 1/2 C more water. And, when I make this again, I will add about 4 more dates, and cut back the cocoa somewhat.

I served this over strawberries, blueberries and blackberries.
