COCONUT CACAO PUDDING

A 3 INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE DESSERT. This is my go to verrrry quick dessert to make that really hits the spot. This takes 1 minute to assemble then needs some time in the fridge to set before you have yourself a delicious chocolate pudding/ dessert that is nourishful! Popular with all! you could also use this mixture and put in lolly moulds to make coconut cacao ice creamy lollies.

TO GATHER

Makes 3-4 ramekins

2 tablespoons of cacao powder


2 tsp runny honey or a few dates soaked to soften.


250 ml carton of coconut cream (not creamed coconut) I use either Sainsburys or Blue Dragon who both do a 250ml carton.

3 tablespoons of boiling water

HOW CAN I EXTEND THIS?

This can be eaten as a pudding on its own or is good with fruit, or scoop onto/through oats for breakfast/ dip apple into it. Add a layer of peanut butter under or sprinkle with nuts on top for extra nutritive indulgence, and to make it stretch further. Sprinkle some seeds of choice / desiccated coconut/grass fed collagen powder. I sometimes add a few soaked dates into the mix if you don’t want to use honey/ maple. The dates do a fab job at sweetening the cacao taste and also give a hit of fibre full, antioxidant goodness. A sprinkle of lavender or rose petals on top adds a certain ooof here!

TO DO

/ Put cacao powder and honey into a large bowl. Add the boiling water and mix until it’s a smooth paste.

/ Add coconut cream and blend using stick blender until you have smooth, silky evenly coloured mixture.

/Split the mixture equally between 3-4 ramekins (or whatever vessels you fancy).

/ If you wanted to here you could pop a spoon of your favourite peanut butter at bottom of ramekin then top with the mixture!

/Pop in the fridge to set for an hour or two (depending on the efficiency of your fridge!)

/ Inhale.

/ These can be frozen then defrosted and enjoyed.
