Finally…a vegan chocolate pudding that doesn’t include avocados in the recipe!  This Chocolate Cashew Pudding tastes just like the real thing, without the avocado aftertaste.

Chocolate Cashew Pudding

I’ve tried the infamous vegan chocolate avocado pudding many times, but there was always something with the recipe that I didn’t like.  I don’t know if it’s just me, but I can still taste the avocado in that recipe and it would ruin my chocolate experience!  I decided to create a different vegan chocolate pudding recipe and I came up with this!!  It’s super creamy and you only taste chocolate.

 

Why Cashews?

Cashews are pretty bland to me, which is why I use them in just about everything.  If I’m testing a recipe and need milk or cream I will ALWAYS use cashew milk/cream.  Never almond milk, soy milk, rice milk, or any other vegan milks.  Cashews have really been a staple for me since I’ve become vegan.  They have a neutral flavor, especially compared to other nuts and seeds, so cashews are the perfect blank canvas for whatever recipe you are using.

 

 

Chef’s Tip

From my experience, cashews that come from India have a very very strong taste and smell.  I don’t know why.  I used to purchase cashews from Indian/Pakistani grocery stores because they are super cheap, but I quickly noticed that no matter which Asian grocery store I visit the cashews all taste the same.  There’s nothing wrong with them, I’m just not fond of the taste because it overpowers everything.

Now when purchasing cashews I make sure to check the bag to see where they come from.  I don’t have a problem with the strong taste and smell when I purchase other types of cashews.

Definitely give this Chocolate Cashew Pudding a try!   It takes no more than 5 minutes to make!

Cuisine American
Keyword chocolate pudding recipe, no bake dessert, vegan chocolate
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups cashews
  • 1 ½ cups zucchini I don't peel them but you can if you'd like
  • 10 – 13 medjool or california dates pitted
  • ½ a vanilla bean
  • 1 ½ cups water filtered possible
  • 1 tablespoon or more of pure cocoa powder depending on how chocolatey you want it

Instructions

  1. Place everything in a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. If you do not have a strong blender then you could soak the cashews in the water for 30 minutes to an hour before blending to help them blend better.
  2. You can eat this immediately or refrigerate until it is chilled. It will thicken in the refrigerator.

Recipe Notes

You DON'T taste the zucchini!! I promise!!!!

    Why do not not use almond milk? I have heard reasons not to use Soy but I use Almond and would like to know if I should not be for some health reason. Also I have never seen cashew milk but now I am going to look for it for sure! My husband is a cashew freak he LOVES them. I like them well enough but I agree they are a little bland. I need to check the labels of where they come from like you pointed out! Thanks for this recipe too – chocolate pudding with avocado sounds strange to me but your recipe I will try for sure.

      Oh no, there’s nothing wrong with almond milk at all! I highly recommend it for those who enjoy the taste. I just prefer not to cook with almond milk because for some reason the almond flavor overpowers everything I make with it. For me, cashew milk has a more neutral flavor, kind of like cow’s milk, so the cashew flavor does not overpower my recipes. If you like the taste of almond milk then by all means use it! Also you can easily make cashew milk by blending 1 part cashews with 3 parts filtered water. No need to strain it. Thank you for such a great question. 🙂

      I’m sorry, I don’t know the calories. I’m one of those people who cannot live their life counting all the calories they eat! I don’t have the attention span for it, lol, so I never calculate calories. I just try to eat healthy and exercise on a regular basis and keep it simple. Thank you for the comment!

    This looks delicious! I’ve been trying to incorporate more veggies into my diet, but everything I make seems so bland. The recipes you have on your site are perfect! I might even make this chocolate cashew pudding on Friday for my Galentine’s Day party.

    Those are some interesting and non-traditional ingredients for pudding. Sounds great for kids (or adults) who don’t like to eat their vegetables. .I would definitely give it a try.!

      That’s exactly why I added the zucchini! I like to sneak in a few extra nutrients when I can! Thank you.
