Sorry, no pictures of this one.
Ingredients:
2 cups cashew pieces (soaked at least 2 hours, longer is better)
1/2 cup dates chopped (soaked if dried, at least 2 hours, longer is better)
1/2 cup milk alternative or water
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1t vanilla
Optional (for sweeter "pudding")
1/4-1/2 cup liquid sweetener of choice (agave, maple, honey-not vegan)
Directions:
Drain cashews and dates, reserving 1/2 cup of the water (if not using milk alternative). Combine all ingredients in blender or food processor and combine until smooth. Chill 2 hours and serve. (Adjust liquids as necessary to achieve desired thickness. It does thicken as it chills.)
I have a KitchenAid blender that has been serving me faithfully for 10 years. I feel a little disloyal, but I imagine someday owning a Vitamix or Blendtec which would make blending this pudding so much easier. (I've never actually used either appliance, but my friends who own Vitamixes or Blendtecs swear by them. I don't have any friends who own a KitchenAid blender or swear by it.)
