Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 cups almond milk
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons cacao nibs
Instructions
Start by soaking the raw cashews in a bowl of water for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will soften them for blending.
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, coconut cream, almond butter, and sea salt.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You might need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Transfer the blended mixture into a bowl and fold in the chopped almonds and cacao nibs.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and allow the chia seeds to thicken the pudding.
Before serving, give the pudding a gentle stir and garnish with additional chopped almonds or cacao nibs if desired.
Enjoy your Vegan Nutty Pudding as a delightful dessert or a nourishing snack!
