This Paleo & Vegan Chocolate Sweet Potato Pudding is a healthy and decadent treat with a sweet potato base, but you’ll never know it’s chock full of nutrients!
So do you remember those chocolate pudding cups that use to come in those plastic containers and foil lids that you peel off? I think they still make them, but I remember loving them growing up. I mean, chocolate is one of my favorite flavors so there was no reason not to love that creamy and decadent treat that I would indulge in everyday after school.
Well, now that I’m a real adult and more aware of what ingredients are lurking in those things, I’ve turned to this homemade version that’s even more delicious and so much healthier. This Paleo & Vegan Chocolate Sweet Potato Pudding’s main ingredients is cooked sweet potatoes, which gives that natural creaminess and sweetness without sacrificing the flavor!
When I first made this pudding, I couldn’t believe how delicious it was. The texture and the flavor is seriously on point, if not better than what I remember eating as a kid. I ate it on its own because it was so good, but you can eat it with cookies, use as a fruit dip, or even as frosting! If you do use it as frosting, I recommend you chill it first so it can harden a bit and hold up better.
Hope you try out this recipe because it’s tastes super chocolate-y and decadent, but you’d never guess how clean and healthy it is.
