Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 6 pieces medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.25 cup coconut flakes
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Soak for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to soften them.
Once soaked, drain and rinse the cashews thoroughly under cold water.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, medjool dates, almond milk, coconut cream, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Pour the blended mixture into a mixing bowl.
Stir in the chia seeds and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb moisture and thicken the pudding.
After chilling, stir the pudding again to ensure an even texture.
Spoon the pudding into serving dishes and top with coconut flakes.
Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve for up to 3 days.
