Carob Pudding Gluten Dairy Free Recipes

CREAMY CAROB MOUSSE

Steps:

• Cut avocados in half and remove seeds. Use the peel as a handle to squeeze the avocado into a blender, food processor, or bowl (if using an immersion blender).
• Add carob, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and oil and blend on high until extremely creamy. You may need to use a spatula to scrape the sides. Once the pudding is lump free and uniform in color, transfer to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days. It will firm up a bit because of the coconut oil.
• To serve, pipe or spoon into parfait glasses and top with toasted coconut or nuts and fresh berries. Best served cold.

• Stir in the vanilla and serve the pudding warm or cold.

CHOCOLATE OR CAROB PUDDING (VEGAN, LIGHT)

Steps:

• Blend carob or cocoa powder with cornstarch in saucepan by mashing them together with a fork to flatten any small lumps.
• Add small amounts of almond milk gradually, blending well after each addition.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently. You can start at a higher heat for the first one or two minutes, but keep stirring and lower the heat so as not to scorch the pudding at the bottom.
• You can add the vanilla if using, at this point.
• Bring to a boil, lower heat, and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. You may add your sweetener of choice now, or after pudding is cooked.
• Add butter or coconut oil, if using, and stir to melt and blend. (I prefer to add virgin coconut oil at this point so that it doesn't cook).
• Chill or serve warm.
