Raw Vegan Chocolate Pudding


Ingredients:

-2 cups of raw coconut meat from a fresh young coconut (you will likely need the meat from 2 fresh young coconuts)
-splash of fresh coconut water
-1/3 cup of agave
-2 tbsp of maple syrup
-1 tbsp of raw coconut butter
-1/2 cup of raw cacao powder (I prefer Navitas brand--tastes the best)
-1/2 tsp of vanilla extract (optional)
-1/4 tsp of Himalayan crystal salt

Blend all ingredients except the coconut water. Once blended, add enough coconut water to reach the desired pudding consistency (less water for a thicker, creamier pudding).

Recommended: Blend with a high speed blender/vita-mix for extra smooth pudding.

Serve into small dishes and chill. Garnish with a raspberries or fresh mint leaf and enjoy!
