Vanilla Bean Cashew Pudding

This pudding can be eaten as a healthy dessert on it's own, served with a topping of fruit, scooped over a cobbler, or as shown below - as a "whip cream" replacement for waffles!

 

Ingredients:

• 1/4 t vanilla bean powder (plus extra for dusting the top)
• 1 t vanilla
• 1.5 c soaked cashews (1-2 hours)
• 1/4 c water
• 1 c almond milk (add 1/4 c more if you like it to be thinner)
• 4 T vanilla cake batter coconut butter (gently melted)
• 1 T maple syrup
• 1/4 t pink sea salt

Preparation:

1. Place the cashews and 1/4 cup water in a food processor or high-powered blender until they are finely milled (no large chunks).
2. Add in all of the rest of the ingredients. The consistency should be smooth enough to pour into a glass container or jar.
3. Optional : dust the top with some fresh vanilla beans! Vanilla beans give this dish the most lovely smell. Store in the fridge until it is hardened - usually 3-4 hours.
