This dessert is elegance made easy. Rich, velvety dark chocolate meets sticky, nutty crust. It's also vegan and gluten/dairy free!
Two things I love...need...cherish: dessert and creating simply nutritious and delicious recipes. Two things I do not enjoy so much: dessert or refined sugar hangovers and a huge mess to clean up in the kitchen. If you can relate, then this No Bake Chocolate Fudge Pudding Pie is a very sweet dream!
This avo-banana pudding sets overnight and becomes a thick, luscious fudgy filling over a chewy, gooey date crust. It’s vegan and dairy/gluten free, absolutely delicious, and easy to make and clean up after. It’s basically the perfect dessert for anyone and everyone!
From its simplicity (all you need is a blender or food processor and a pie dish!), to the beautiful flavor and texture combos, to the natural, healthy, whole ingredients, it’s become one of my favorite “anytime” desserts to keep in the fridge for the fam. Chocolate lovers, you’ll really enjoy this one!
