Raw Mango Pudding Recipe

It's hard to believe this mango pudding recipe is simply mangoes and water. It is sweet and tasty. Mango pudding can be used as a pie filling or eaten plain.

• 1 Cup dried mangoes (8 ounces)
• Water

1. Place the dried mangoes in a large measuring cup that holds at least 2 cups. 
2. Cover the dried mangoes with water until the water reaches 2 cups.
3. Soak the mangoes for 2 hours.
4. Puree the mangoes in a blender until the pudding reaches the desired consistency. It may be necessary to stop the blender and scrape the sides with a spatula to insure it is well blended. If the mixture becomes to thick, add more water one tablespoon at a time.

Mango pudding is best served chilled. It can be eaten plain or used to make a pie. It can also be layered with vanilla pudding and topped with fruit to create a more sophisticated dessert.

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.
