Jason Mraz's Healthy Chocolate Pudding Recipe:
How about a chocolate pudding that's good for your heart? This is exactly what you'll create by following Jason Mraz's chocomole recipe, which calls for avocados, dates, chocolate powder, and a touch of vanilla.
The result is a creamy chocolate pudding that's rich in healthy monounsaturated fatty acids and flavonoids, making it an excellent choice for promoting a healthy cardiovascular system and good overall health.
Note: The quantities listed below will make a big bowl of chocolate pudding, enough for about four people.
Ingredients:
5 ripe avocados
1.5 cups dates, soaked in water for 1 hour, drained, roughly chopped
1 cup raw cacao powder
1 cup raw carob powder (can substitute with cacao powder)
1 tablespoon vanilla
Agave nectar or raw organic honey (optional)
Directions:
1. Mash avocados until creamy.
2. Add chopped dates and vanilla. Mix well to bring everything together.
3. Add half a cup of cacao/carob powder, mix well, taste, then add another half cup of cacao/carob powder, and repeat until the pudding is chocolate-y enough for you. Be sure to take it in steps like this, as adding too much cacao can make the pudding somewhat bitter.
4. If the dates don't sweeten the pudding to your satisfaction, add a little agave nectar or raw organic honey, and give the pudding another good mix.
For extra style, texture, and flavor, garnish with some raw organic cashews. Yum!
