Raw Almond Pudding Recipe. All Variations

Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl. Pour the mixture into 8 dessert cups. Keep it chilled until serving time. If you pour it into small Mason jars with lids, it will keep perfectly in the refrigerator a good few days. The mixture will thicken as it chills.

Almond Pudding Variations. 

• Flavorings: for my dessert I picked cardamom and orange zest, to give it a distinct Sephardi flair, but of course you will enjoy playing with other flavorings and extracts (only the real thing please!) and get a new exciting variety each time: cinnamon, ginger, cloves, rum, cassis, anise, caramel, etc....
• Apple: No cranberries. 2 unpeeled grated granny smith apples (rum and cinnamon will go best with this variation)
• Chocolate: No fruit, no spices and no orange. 1/3 cup pure cocoa, 1 tablespoon instant coffee powder, 2 tablespoons rum. Microwave these three ingredients with the coconut oil until the mixture is smooth before adding to the rest of the ingredients. Increase the maple syrup to 3/4 cup, or the stevia to 1/2 cup.
• Lemon: Basic recipe. No fruit. Increase the sweeteners exactly as for the chocolate variation above. Add the juice and grated peel of a lemon.
• Explore with other kind of nuts, or no nuts at all if you are restricted.
