This recipe was recently created by my sweet ( and undeniably sassy) Southern mother. She has recently become much more health-conscious in her cooking. I would love to take credit for this, since I am a Registered Dietitian, but it has nothing to do with me…ha! She simply discovered that eating well and exercising made her feel really great.
So when she is not busting a move on the dance floor like the picture below, or selling Avon, she is cooking up some healthy eats in her kitchen.
Vegan Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients
- 1/2 banana, pureed
- 1 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 tablespoons organic sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
Instructions
- Puree banana in a blender and set aside.
- Combine and stir milk and half of sugar in a medium-sized saucepan and simmer over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, blend remaining sugar, cocoa, pureed banana, and cornstarch in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk the simmering milk mixture into the cocoa mixture. Pour this mixture back into the saucepan and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly until thick, approximately 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Serve warm and enjoy!
- Optional: Garnish with fresh fruit or roasted walnuts or almonds.
I love watching Mrs. Walker busting a move! You go girl.
This recipe sounds delicious! I am going to try making it this weekend and add fresh strawberries like pictured. Thanks for sharing Lori!
