Raw Chocolate Pudding

This chocolate pudding is one of my favorite treats to eat. It is quick and relatively easy to prepare. When you try it for the first time your brain will need to adjust to the difference from regular chocolate pudding. The texture may taste a little gritty due to the dates but it is so refreshing, and it won’t take long before you are hooked. This recipe keeps well for a few days in the refrigerator. You can use carob powder instead of cacao powder if you prefer. I’ve tried both ways and I prefer to use raw cacao powder. I find this recipe to be sweet enough for me but if you need it to be sweeter just add some more honey or stevia.
