Who doesn’t love Chocolate Pudding!??
I know what your thinking though…uhh VEGAN chocolate pudding? You’re skeptical. Let me reassure you, this is Way better than you fear. It is rich, moist, chocolaty and delicious!!
If you are a new vegan or new to the raw diet, and miss the desserts you use to eat, this will cheer you right up! It is filling and very healthy for you. Simple as ever to make too! I love the fact that its raw, so no need to cook anything, and it’s quick and easy to make. Very minimal prep work, something you can make on the spur of the moment. A quick pick-me-up.
I imagine myself enjoying this vegan chocolate pudding on a beautiful summer day, laying out in my backyard just watching the birds fly by, and the clouds roll all of my troubles away. I loved growing up on a farm for that reason, to be able to feel the sun on my skin, and hear the chickens clucking and walking around peacefully, or watch the sheep graze together. Sometimes I would even see one of my dads honey bee’s on a flower next to me and feel relieved to know that we are helping the environment through breading such tiny insects. Ahhh the country life, I miss it. It’s a pretty simple thought, but that’s my idea of relaxation: chocolate and nature. Not much better than that!
This is the perfect dessert for a late night movie, or a mid day snack. And if you’re looking for something denser, try out my Raw Vegan Vanilla and Chocolate Cheesecake recipe! That’s more of a serious recipe right there, an after dinner dessert for you and the entire family. This vegan chocolate pudding recipe is more for a personal moment, but both are great in my eyes.
