Nutty Cacao Pudding
By Esther Boateng
You won’t find any scary ingredients in this sweet treat. With a few clean ingredients such as cacao, almonds, avocadoes, and bananas, you can whip up a decadent desert within minutes. There’s no baking involved; just a few minutes of blending wizardry and you’re good to go. For a more intense chocolatey taste, sometimes I include a bar of chocolate made with 80% cacao or higher; however, this is optional. A good quality cacao powder also does the job. For a healthier version of this recipe, use fermented cacao powder instead of plain cacao, plus a scoop or two of Colostrum powder or good quality protein powder for extra creaminess.
