Chocolate Pudding, Plant Style

The Jaroudi Family posted their recipe for Chocolate Pudding Pie on YouTube.  We just made the pudding, not the pie crust.

Chocolate Pudding Pie Filling

By: The Jaroudi Family

Ingredients

3 cups roasted sweet potatoes (without the skins)

2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

6-10 pitted dates (sweeten to taste)

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a blender then blend until well combined.

(If the blender is having trouble add in 1 tablespoon of extra non-dairy milk at a time.) Chocolate pudding pie filling should be a thick consistency

Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving

This is the recipe I was using when I smashed the tamper on our VitaMix, which has now been replaced.

BE SURE TO REFRIGERATE SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE EATING!!! That is really important. Also, it might be a good idea just to serve the pudding in a nice dish without any commentary on what is in it...Dear One ate it all in two evenings. I am pretty sure he would not have been so interested if he knew the ingredient list! Just guessing, but...I do know him rather well at this point. At least in some things...!

Quick and Easy and DELICIOUS Vegan Hot Chocolate!

Yesterday Krocks in the Kitchen put up a video on YouTube about 3-Ingredient Vegan Hot Chocolate.  I had the three ingredients so I went down to the kitchen and immediately made some.

BINGO!!!  It is EXACTLY the way I like hot chocolate to taste.  And it is plant-based.

Vegan Hot Chocolate ready to sip.  So good. Also in a new-ish toy!  Love this Yeti mug.  Did NOT love the price.

I made some of this hot chocolate in the VitaMix just the way Jessica said. IT IS SO GOOD!!   You do not need to use a high-speed blender.  If you don't use a high-speed blender just blend for about 90 seconds which should pulverize the dates enough.  Once blended, heat up in the microwave or a small saucepan on the stove.

 I did not have medjool dates. I used deglet noor dates that I weighed in at 40 grams and covered with 1/4 cup boiling water that sat on the counter five minutes, 1 1/4 cup Almond Breeze almond milk and 1 Heaping Tablespoon Hershey's cocoa.

Today I made a double batch so Dear One could have more of a sample than he got last night.  The cocoa was 40 grams in weight so for one serving I will use 20 grams cocoa when I made it again. (A kitchen scale is so handy...)

 Put all these things into the high-speed blender and blend for 3 and 1/2 minutes.  It will come out the perfect temperature to drink.  Steaming hot.  So delicious!!
