Raw Vanilla Pudding Recipe

Chocolate or vanilla? I am usually a huge fan of chocolate, but not when it comes to raw pudding. This vanilla pudding recipe is so good, it might have me switching sides in the chocolate vs. vanilla debate.

• 2 Cups raw cashews
• 3/4 Cup water
• 1/4 Cup agave syrup, maple syrup, or honey
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, or seeds of 2 vanilla beans

1. Soak the cashews in a bowl by covering them with water and allowing them to rest for 2 hours. 
2. Place all the ingredients above in a blender. Blend on the highest speed until smooth. Keep extra water on hand in case the mixture becomes too thick to blend. Stop the blender occasionally to push the pudding down on the sides of the blender with a spatula.

The vanilla pudding is best served chilled. It will last in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It can be eaten plain or layered with raw chocolate mouse, raw mango pudding, or raw fruit. It also makes an excellent pie filling.
