Velvety smooth, intensely rich Vegan Chocolate Pudding. It's super fast & easy to make & hides a very healthy secret........

The good news is that this amazing Vegan Chocolate Pudding is healthy. The bad news?.....There is no bad news. It's all good. Very good in fact.

It's all good because this pudding is hiding a dirty healthy secret. Actually two healthy secrets. One is sweet potato and the other is banana.

You might recall that I used sweet potato in my Healthy Chocolate Smoothie. Well it worked so well that I just had to play around with it in pudding form.

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN CHOCOLATE PUDDING

This Vegan Chocolate Pudding could not be easier to make. Just blend all of the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Spoon into serving dishes or glasses and refrigerate until needed. It does firm up a little over time in the fridge.

That's about as complicated as it gets.

As well as being super quick and easy to make, every-time you eat this Healthy Vegan Chocolate Pudding, you are actually eating fruit and vegetables. It really doesn't taste 'healthy' though. It is rich, indulgent and super chocolatey. You cannot detect the sweet potato at all. It serves to sweeten, thicken and make very, very velvety smooth. The banana comes through, but banana and chocolate is a match made in heaven so there are no worries there.

This pudding is a dream to eat. It is so luxuriously thick and intensely chocolatey. It will kick any chocolate cravings well into touch.

WAYS TO SERVE MY VEGAN CHOCOLATE PUDDING

I topped my puddings with some ruby red pomegranate seeds because the colour looked so fantastic for the photos. Other serving suggestions are:

sliced banana

date caramel

my 5 minute caramel sauce

fresh strawberries

vanilla roasted strawberries

fresh raspberries

crushed cookies

nuts

sprinkles

granola (it is particularly good with my Double Chocolate Coconut Granola!)

Or just serve it as it is!
