pudding - Creamy dark chocolate pudding or shake

By tinathorn

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup black beans
• 1 small mashed banana (1/4 cup approx)
• 3 tbs date paste (or 4 softened dates)
• A pinch of stevia to taste
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Approx 2 cups milk of choice (I’ve tried with both almond and soy)
• 1 tbs melted coconut oil
• Note the above proportions are for a shake, for a chocolate pudding reduce the milk to 1 1/2 cups and increase coconut oil to 2 tbs)

Preparation

Step 1

Process the beans, banana and dates until you have a thick smooth paste. Add remaining ingredients and blend until very smooth. Pour into serving glasses or bowls and chill for approx 30 minutes until thickened. If serving as a shake strain through a sieve.
Serve in tall glasses or short bowls...perfect with a coconut cream topping.
