Overview

A creamy, chocolatey pudding made with nutrient-packed sweet potatoes, perfect for a healthy dessert option.

Instructions

Step 1

Peel and boil the sweet potatoes until tender. Or bake them, I like to bake a whole batch at once, using some for this and some for savory meals. Depending on the size, roast at 425 for 40-60 minutes, whole. Let cool then it’s SUPER easy to remove the skins.

Step 2

Blend the sweet potatoes with cocoa powder, almond milk, and a touch of honey until smooth.

Taste, that’s how you’ll know your amounts. Start with a little and add until you’re happy. You may like yours thinker or thinner, you may want more sweet or less, darker chocolate or lighter, make something you’ll enjoy!

Flavor Bonus: add cinnamon, vanilla, maybe a little nutmeg, a pinch of allspice have fun!

Health Bonus: add boosters like lions mane, ashwaganda, shatavari, etc.

Step 3

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
