Ingredients for making the vegan chocolate pudding

  • Cashews. Please be sure to look for raw cashews; they are cheaper if you buy them in pieces. For a creamier texture, leaving the cashews soaking for at least three hours is essential. If you are in a hurry, soak them for 20 minutes in hot water.
  • Maple syrup, substitute with any liquid sweetener if you don’t use maple syrup.
  • Cocoa powder, cinnamon powder, sea salt
  • Ground chile ancho for the smokiness and spice. Feel free to skip it.
  • Coconut whipped cream to finish.

All about soaking cashews

Soaking cashews is a simple process that softens them and makes them easier to blend into creamy mixtures for various recipes like vegan cheese, sauces, or desserts.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to soak cashews:

Choose your cashews: Opt for raw, unsalted cashews for the best results. You can usually find them in the bulk section or pre-packaged at grocery stores.

Measure the cashews: Measure the amount of cashews you need for your recipe.

Rinse the cashews: Place them in a fine mesh strainer or colander and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dust or debris.

Place cashews in a bowl: Transfer the rinsed cashews to a bowl large enough to accommodate them, and the water they will be soaked in.

Add water: Pour enough cold water into the bowl to cover the cashews by about 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm). This will ensure that they have enough room to expand as they soak.

Choose your soaking time:

Quick soak method If you’re in a hurry, you can soak the cashews in hot water for 15-30 minutes. Boil water and pour it over the cashews, allowing them to soak until they’re softened.

Regular soak method: For a regular soak, let the cashews sit in cold water for 4-6 hours or overnight. This is the preferred method, as it helps maintain the nutritional value of the cashews.

Drain and rinse: Once the cashews have soaked for the desired time, drain the water using a colander or fine mesh strainer. Rinse the cashews again under cold running water to remove any remaining debris.

Use or store: You can now use the soaked cashews in your recipe. If you don’t plan to use them immediately, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Serving cashew vegan chocolate pudding can be as creative and fun as you like! Here are some fantastic ideas to serve this vegan dessert beautifully:

Fruit garnish: Top the pudding with fresh fruit like raspberries, strawberries, banana slices, or even a mix of seasonal berries.

Whipped coconut cream: Add a dollop of whipped coconut cream on top of the pudding for a dairy-free, creamy contrast. You can even sprinkle some cocoa powder or cinnamon on the cream for added visual appeal.

Chopped nuts: Sprinkle chopped nuts like almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans on top of the pudding for added crunch and texture.

Shaved chocolate: Use a vegetable peeler or a grater to create delicate chocolate shavings, and scatter them over the pudding for an extra touch of chocolatey goodness.

Mint leaves: Place a sprig of fresh mint on top of the pudding for a pop of color and a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate flavor.

Edible flowers: Garnish the pudding with edible flowers like pansies, nasturtiums, or lavender for a touch of elegance and a hint of floral flavor.

Caramel or chocolate drizzle: Drizzle some vegan caramel or melted chocolate over the pudding for an extra layer of indulgence.
