Cashew Pudding

I was inspired by a recent recipe on Detoxinista for a raw cashew pudding. I adapted the recipe to our taste, bumping up the honey and coconut oil and swapping in coconut milk. Oddly enough, the teenager loved it. So much he ate 2 servings and asked if I would make it again. soon. So I did and tweaked the recipe the second time, using maple syrup and cinnamon for a different taste. And my thoughts? The second version, with maple syrup, is tastier!

I found that little dessert bowls worked perfect for serving in. It is rich, only a little is needed.

    1. For years I scoffed at a Vitamix thinking “how can it be worth that much $$?”. First use of it I was sold on it. I cannot believe how it makes everything SO smooth! Butter him up πŸ˜‰ You deserve it!
