  • Taste and adjust for sweetness. You may want to add more cocoa powder or dates.
  • If the pudding seems too thick, add more coconut milk, one tablespoon at a time.
  • Transfer into pretty serving dishes and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Garnish with pistachios, orange zest, and sea salt and serve.
    Enjoy!

Notes

  • Pit and soak the dates in warm water for 10 minutes before blending.
  • The texture of chocolate pudding made with sweet potato matters! For a silky pudding, blend until absolutely smooth. A high-speed blender works best. A food processor also works, but the consistency will not be the same.
  • Always taste and tweak the sweetness before chilling.
  • Cover the pudding bowls well to prevent the top from drying out in the refrigerator.
  • Refrigerate the sweet potato chocolate pudding for at least 1 hour. The pudding thickens and the flavors meld beautifully.
