You won't believe this one! I sure didn't. Delicious, dairy-free, HEALTHY chocolate pudding? Close those gaping mouths, people, and have a seat. You can use any flavored (or mild) tea instead of ginger tea, if you prefer. You could also swap out the sunflower butter for natural peanut butter. Makes it taste a bit like Reese's pudding! Prefer more traditional pudding, then skip the nut butter altogether.
Here we go. Serving for one, but you could easily double or triple this recipe for sharing. You'll need:
1 lg. ripe avocado (or 2 small)
Fresh-brewed ginger tea (from the real-deal ginger root--adds a spicy bite), cooled
1 tsp. raw, organic honey
1-1/2 tsp. pure vanilla
1 sm. scoop dairy-free protein powder (any flavor)
3 T. organic cacao powder
Further sweeten with stevia to taste (a tiny sprinkle, usually)
1 T. sunflower butter
Tiniest sprinkle of salt imaginable
Spices (Yes, you read it correctly ... SPICES): Sprinkle of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger
(I like to add a squirt of kalonji oil too, just for fun!)
Put all the dry ingredients in a NutriBullet or appropriately sized food processor. Add enough tea to almost cover the contents. Blend for about 5-8 seconds. Spoon into a container and chill in freezer for 5 minutes or fridge for 20-30 minutes. You may add an ice cube to the blender if you cannot wait even five minutes. Eat soon after chilling; it is avocado, after all.
SPECIAL NOTE: Add less tea and more cacao and you can use it as frosting for cupcakes! OMg, are you salivating yet?
