Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cashews (soaked)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 3 ripe bananas, 1 cup of almond milk, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/4 cup of soaked cashews, and a pinch of salt.
- To soak the cashews, place them in a bowl and cover with water. Allow them to soak for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best results. Once soaked, drain and rinse them thoroughly.
- Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a blender or food processor. Make sure they are ripe enough for optimal sweetness and creaminess.
- Add the soaked cashews to the blender with the bananas. This will help create a creamy texture for your pudding.
- Pour in 1 cup of almond milk, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the blender with the bananas and cashews.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.
- Once the mixture is smooth, taste it and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup according to your preference.
- Transfer the banana pudding mixture into serving bowls or glasses. You can layer it with additional banana slices or your favorite fruits for added texture and flavor.
- Chill the banana pudding in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes if you prefer it cold, or serve immediately for a fresh experience.
- Enjoy your delicious raw vegan banana pudding as a healthy dessert or snack!
Tips
- Choose Perfectly Ripe Bananas: The key to an amazing pudding is using bananas that are very ripe - look for those with plenty of brown spots, which guarantee maximum sweetness and smoothness.
- Soak Cashews Thoroughly: For the creamiest texture, soak cashews for at least 2 hours or overnight. This softens them completely and helps create a silky-smooth pudding.
- Blend Until Absolutely Smooth: Take your time blending and don't be afraid to stop and scrape down the sides. A completely smooth consistency is crucial for the perfect pudding texture.
- Customize Your Toppings: While delicious on its own, try topping with fresh berries, cacao nibs, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to add extra excitement to your dessert.
- Chill for Enhanced Flavor: While you can serve immediately, letting the pudding chill for 10-15 minutes can help the flavors meld and create an even more luxurious dessert experience.
