Good to know

When it needs to be quick but should still taste like dessert, this pudding is just right. Creamy, chocolatey and pleasantly simple.

Swaps

Maple syrup → date paste (made from whole dates, so it brings some fibre); almond milk → tinned coconut milk (creamier, a little more fat); cocoa powder → raw cacao powder (similar nutrient profile, often more bitter in taste); avocado → banana (milder and sweeter, with a different texture)

Allergens

Contains tree nuts (almond milk), so it isn't suitable for anyone with a nut allergy. Usually fine for children in small portions; in pregnancy, no problem with fresh, carefully prepared ingredients. Contains: tree nuts.
