Fruit Dessert Recipes - Choc Nut Pudding with Strawberry Cashew Custard

Most fruit dessert recipes are wonderfully healthy. However, this decadent treat is very high in fat and should only be considered as a very occasional indulgence!

400g Dates

2x cups Almond Pulp (Left over from Almond Milk)

2x tablespoons Cacao Powder

Almond Pulp - Left Over From Almond Milk

To get almond pulp you need to soak almonds for at least 6 hours, but preferably 12. Drain the soak water, and then blend 1 cup of almonds to 3 cups of water.

This makes a rich, creamy and delicious almond milk. You then put the almond milk through some cheesecloth or a sieve, or even better: a nut milk bag. This separates the milk from the pulp.

You can use the milk for a variety of things, as a base for smoothies, or just to drink as is!

Use the leftover pulp for this recipe!

Method

In a food processor, process dates until they form a thick caramel paste. Add cacao powder and process until a rich chocolate paste is formed.

Use a spatula to move contents of food processor into a mixing bowl. Stir the almond pulp into the chocolate paste until a thick chunky chocolate pudding is formed.
