If you didn’t love licking the top of a chocolate pudding cup as a kid then I’m not sure we can be friends. Just kidding, I’d never shun you. Even if you didn’t engage in such activities- I guarantee you’re going to take down this healthy version of chocolatey dreamy pudding with fervor! 

This No FOMO version requires an overnight soak of the incredibly magic nut- cashews! No tofu, no avocado just cashews, coconut milk, hemp and raw cacao whipped up with a few more ingredients give this pudding a beautiful rich depth of flavor. 

The recipe makes enough for two large servings but because the pudding is so rich- I actually enjoyed it in small doses throughout the week as a quick after-dinner treat. Of course, let's not forget how amazing this is to pull together without dairy, gluten or refined-sugar! YUM!
