Author Notes
my all time favourite pudding ever! its completely dairy free, processed sugar free and vegan! i am super proud of this one, when i first tried it warm out the oven and covered in gorgeous caramel sauce, i just melted. i haven't been able to eat this in so long, and have drooled longingly over restaurant menus so many times, wishing i could somehow cheat by body into not realising how much cream was actually in it. but at last, i have solved it! if you want to wow your dinner guests this is a sure fire hit, and if you want to have one of those nights in where you truly indulge all to yourself, this is you go to. and the best thing, it is actually pretty good for you! its full of natural sugars, healthy protein and inflammation fighting properties. theres basically no excuse you could come up with not to make this, so get baking! —The All Natural Cure
